EPSA Annual Congress 

The most beautiful and biggest event of EPSA is the Annual Congress (AC). This six-day congress is organized every year in April by another European country. At the congress, the ins and outs of EPSA will be discussed during the General Assembly (GA). Each EPSA country is represented in the GA by two ‘official delegates’. During the GA’s the new EPSA board is elected and the handover takes place. During the congress, various trainings and workshops and various social and cultural activities will be organized. Every year the congress is concluded with a spectacular gala. The congress is a very nice way to get in touch with many European pharmacy students!

EPSA Autumn Assembly

The autumn Assembly is the second largest EPSA event and takes place in autumn. This congress looks like the AC, but it is a five-day congress instead of six. There are symposia, workshops, and every night there will be a different party. The congress will be, just like the AC, will end with a fantastic gala! The semi-annual GA takes place during this congress.

EPSA Summer University

EPSA Annual Reception

The EPSA Annual Reception (AR) is organized in the spring with the aim to present the projects and work of EPSA to the honorary members, partners and sponsors of EPSA.

IPSF World Congress

Every year an IPSF Congress is organized to which the h.t. and the e.t. commissioner abroad of the K.N.P.S.V. go as Official Delegates and speak on behalf of the Netherlands during the General Assembly. In addition to these two persons, every year many other interested students attend because this ten-day congress is the ideal opportunity to get to know pharmacy students from all over the world and to discuss the study, the profession, cultural differences etc. The bigger the ‘Dutch Delegation’ the better!

At such a congress the General Assembly takes place. Furthermore, there are two symposia days, workshops, the finals of the Patient Counselling Event and of course a large social program.
