In promoting the development and application of psychology in Europe and beyond, EFPA organises the European Congress of Psychology (ECP). It is the place where European psychology presents itself and where psychologists from Europe and from other continents can meet and share knowledge.
The ECP is organized by a national Full Member of EFPA under the auspices of and in collaboration with EFPA. It is held in another European country every two years.
Professionals, academics, researchers, and students from Europe and beyond are invited to attend the conference to exchange ideas, contributions, and best practices.
Paphos combines a historical location with beautiful nature and renowned hospitality.
The road to achieving the SDGs 2030 agenda has been long and with professed limited progress. Psychology as a science studying emotions, cognitions, and behaviours has been relatively missing from the equation. EFPA has set priorities that are believed to contribute to sustained and meaningful EU-level action. ECP 2025 will offer a platform for exchange and collective intelligence to discuss how our science and practice has every-day societal, and policy implications in guiding the process and reaching its full potential by setting its 2030 agenda.
The European Congress provides an opportunity for us to learn from each other, and to bring together the research, knowledge and innovation that is unique to each country on our continent.
Psychology is a truly global science which has the power to unite communities around solutions to the biggest problems facing us right now. As one, we can build a fairer and more sustainable society, but we can only do it through sharing our expertise.
ECP2023 brought together psychologists from across Europe to discuss, debate and celebrate the impact of psychology. With keynote speakers, symposia, workshops and the chance to meet on Brighton's famous pier.
Brighton is one of the UK's leading cities for inclusivity and enjoys a forward-thinking reputation. ECP2023 for sun, sea, sand and psychology!
In support of this EFPA organises the biennial European Congress of Psychology (ECP).
Since the first congress in Amsterdam in 1989 the ECP has grown in magnitude and reputation. By now it is known all over the world as the place where European psychology presents itself and where psychologists from Europe and from other continents can meet and share knowledge.
Comprehending all areas of psychology and covering the whole of Europe, the ECP provides participants – whether psychologists, students, educators, policy makers and others with an interest in psychology – with a unique opportunity to inform themselves about the state of the art in psychology as a science and a profession.
