Aim and activities

The European Semester of Psychology is aimed at creating a common space in which European psychologists can interact and communicate so as to foster the sharing and transmission of knowledge and expertise between members and, in turn, to stimulate the ongoing development of a truly European identity among psychologists across Europe.

During the six-month period in which they play host to the European Semester, member countries are expected to organise numerous events and meetings, welcome visiting delegates and colleagues from other associations, and promote materials and information on both current and historical developments within psychology, both at home and abroad

European Semester of Psychology in Albania

“Challenges of the Psychological Service, Examples of Successful Cases of a Good Application Practice”

January – June 2024

The theme of our European Semester aimed to highlight the challenges and difficulties encountered in a country in relation to the implementation and institutionalization of psychology. This decision came based on the history of the rise of the psychologist profession in Albania as a profession in recent years in an effort to provide a quality psychological service in: education, health, organizations, community and more.

Some specific activities, open to European associates, were been planned.
