Founded in 1981 EFPA has a long tradition of developing psychology (by enhancing scientific and professional standards), contributing to society (by using psychological knowledge and competences in support in particular of the UN sustainable development goals) and serving psychologists (by advancing, promoting and protecting the profession of psychologists at the national and European levels).
EFPA has a network of some 350,000 psychologists through its Full Members (professional practitioner psychologists and researchers) and many stakeholders including Associate Members which exists to promote a particular domain of psychology as education, science, and/or profession or support a particular group of Psychologists or students or teachers of psychology.
EFPA is a partner in many EU Commission funded research and development projects. EFPA sets a European standard of education, professional training and competence in psychology, EuroPsy.
The way EFPA strives to fulfil this purpose is:
- Develop psychology education, science, and professional practice;
- Promote the dissemination of psychological knowledge, to develop a clear image of psychology and make it accessible, useful and respected;
- Contribute psychological theory and practice to quality of life including health and wellbeing of people living in Europe and to a democratic and prosperous society;
- Represent psychology at the European level, and contribute psychological science to European policy development.
