The EPA invites attendees to explore its 24 Scientific Sections during EPA2026.
The mission of the 24 active EPA Scientific Sections is to explore and address problems in various specific areas of psychiatry, to collect and disseminate information, to establish working relationships between individuals and with different national and international bodies working in the same field, and to achieve greater coordination in EPA projects and outputs.
EPA Sections organise their own symposia under the patronage of the EPA, as well as annual conferences throughout Europe.
Learn about Sections’ missions and activities, meet Section leaders, and discover the professional benefits of joining a section!
