Improving Psychiatry and Mental Health Care in Europe
With active individual members in as many as +100 countries and 47 National Psychiatric Association Members who represent more than 80 000 European psychiatrists, the European Psychiatric Association is the main association representing psychiatry in Europe. The EPA’s activities address the interests of psychiatrists in academia, research and practice throughout all stages of career development.
The EPA deals with psychiatry and its related disciplines and focuses on the improvement of care for the mentally ill as well as on the development of professional excellence.
We have the privilege to invite you to attend the 34th European Congress of Psychiatry, which will be held in Prague, Czech Republic, on 28 – 31 March 2026.
The 2026 Congress motto will be “Mental Health: Improving Care and Expanding Horizons”, emphasising the need to improve mental healthcare across all contexts and for every citizen living in Europe. “Expanding Horizons” underscores the importance of strengthening collaboration with allied professionals and including experts by experience and carers in the improvement of mental healthcare.
We hope that the Congress will broaden participants’ understanding of mental health by promoting a translational approach, bridging humanities with social sciences, and fostering dialogue between psychiatry and other medical disciplines.
