Insights | European Summer School VII

From Ladislav Zli!, ESS Senior Coordinator 2013
The ESS was one of the most intense and fulfilling weeks of my life. After ten months of more hours spent on Skype meetings than I even dare to count, thousands of e-mails written to dozens of people all over Europe, and several sleepless nights, I was finally about to see all the effort come to fruition. However, without a team of wonderful and dedicated people with me in the ESS organisational committee, and numerous other people within EFPSA, that fruition would have been anything but possible. The effort of the organisational committee peaked when 40 participants met at the central train station in Liege prepared to experience what some of them later called a life changing or once in a life experience. Thanks to the reputation of previous editions of the ESS and Junior Researcher Programme, these talented young people were selected from almost 200 applicants. It goes without saying that we wanted to match or exceed all their expectations in the upcoming week. Throughout the week, not a single raindrop fell from the sky - perhaps a reflective of the enthusiasm of the participants that stayed exceptionally high. Never in my life have I seen such a large and diverse group of people growing close so easily. I can say beyond doubt that this was also a result of the social program that our hosts had prepared for us and the beautiful surroundings of the old castle that was our venue.

The ESS traces its history back to 2007, but it has gone through a great many changes since then! As a research based summer school, the ESS is the platform from which students enter the Junior Researcher Programme We look forward to the eighth edition of the ESS taking place in Austria in July 2014

This seven-day event immerses students into an exciting programme of inter-cultural psychological research in a uniquely diverse learning environment

My. words can do a little justice to the feelings of togetherness while singing with others during a traditional Belgian Cantus night. The high-quality research experience that we strived to provide from the very beginning was brought up to a very new dimension with our lecturers: Prof Felicia Huppert (University of Cambridge), Prof Omer van Den Bergh (KU Leuven), and Dr Sam Norton (Kings College, London). Prof Huppert and Dr Norton also

stayed with us for three days to consult on the research projects and to spend some time with participants. It was nice to see that even topnotch academics are after all people like all of us. I am sure that the moments with them in- and outside of lectures and workshops were as enlightening for participants as they were for me.

I had no idea what to expect: I thought that the positive experiences mentioned on the website were probably exaggerated. The opposite is true: it really was an amazing experience. What I liked most was the combination of social and academic experiences. It was lovely to get to know so many nice and enthusiastic people from all over Europe. The academic standards were so high, I was really impressed by the skills, knowledge, and motivation of all participants. For me, it was a very valuable experience to supervise a JRP project and work with such a great team.

Without any exaggeration I can honestly say that ESS was a life changing experience for me. Being a Junior Researcher made me realise what it means to gain and construct knowledge; I really feel that I am part of something big and important. Anyone who is passionate about research and psychology should be provided with such an experience. Because for me, it transfor med my perspective on psychology!

Insights| Junior Researcher Programme

From Kai Ruggeri & Ladislav Zli!, JRP Director of Research & JRP Programme Coordinator

An Introduction
The Junior Researcher Programme was introduced in 2011 to meet the needs of European Summer School research projects by supplying framework, guidance and academic support to students and supervisors throughout the duration of each project. The primary purpose of the JRP is to provide a structure by which all research groups are able to complete and submit all JRP research for dissemination.

devoted to exploring aspects of contemporary psychological research and developing research projects to be carried out over the subsequent year. Following the ESS, students undertake their studies, present work at the EFPSA annual Congress, submit reports to a Special Edition of the Journal of European Psychology Students, and may intern for up to one month at the University of Cambridge. The programme operates through the coordination and support provided by two individuals: a professional academic and an experienced junior researcher in two permanent positions the Director of Research and Research Officer respectively. We are pleased to note that a third position, the Programme Coordinator, has been welcomed into the team this autumn.

the highlight being the facial recognition group attending the British Psychological Societys annual conference in April. More recently, this July the seventh annual ESS was held in Belgium leading to 40 new students and 6 Research Supervisors being inducted into the JRP 2013-2014 cohort these groups are currently working steadfastly on gaining ethical approval to begin their projects.

three groups from 2011-2012. Providing a fitting end to a fantastic year, all delegates then attended a formal dinner in the dining hall at Corpus Christi.

The annual JRP Conference was held in the Department of Psychology and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge

40 new students and 6 Research Supervisors inducted into the JRP 2013-2014 cohort
In August, members of the 2012-2013 cohort regrouped in England at the University of Cambridge to begin internships on the Global Health Access Policy project. In total, this involved 38 junior researchers, 33 from the current cohort, two from the previous year and three external project members. Mid-August, and the annual JRP Conference was held in the Department of Psychology and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. This three-day event included a panel debate on psychology and policy with members of the department, and a poster session of JRP projects and participants own research. On the second day, the 2012-2013 groups presented their projects to a group of 65 peers, followed by project updates from

Final thoughts
The future of the ESS and JRP looks incredibly bright. We are constantly adding new dimensions to both in order to offer more to our stakeholders while remaining sustainable for student leadership. As we build toward the eighth ESS and the 2014 JRP Conference, we cannot express how excited we are to meet new colleagues and friends relationships which will undoubtedly last throughout careers, if not lifetimes. !

highlights of the programme include publication of methodology papers, presentation of work to-date at the annual EFPSA Congress, and invitation to the JRP Internship
Highly competitive and international in scope, the JRP is a 13-month programme in which students conduct intercultural research projects under the supervision of early career researchers, typically PhD students and postdocs. Membership in the JRP begins upon completion of the ESS, a one-week event

Recent developments
In the second full year of the JRP, there have been a number of exciting events and additions to the programme. While it was the second year that the JRP has been represented at the EFPSA Congress, this years presentations were the first installment of the work-in-progress mid-year group reports, which focus on project design and practical considerations to inform independent, student-driven research. This was a lively session with good debate attended by nearly 80 people. JRP teams from 2012-2013 have also presented in conferences external to EFPSA, perhaps

Participants of the JRP Conference gather in the courtyard of Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge, for a champagne reception before a formal dinner in the dining hall of the college. The evening marked a wonderful finale to an exciting year for these dedicated and talented students!

The JRP is currently under the responsibility of Marike Deutz (left), Dr Kai Ruggeri (right) and Ladislav Zli! who hold the positions of Research Officer, Director of Research and Programme Coordinator respectively. Marike works together with Kai on supporting the research projects which were established at the ESS this July.

Insights | Train the Trainers IV

We are delighted to report that Malta, which recently joined the EFPSA Federation at the 27th EFPSA Congress in Turkey this April, has hosted its first EFPSA event the Train the Trainers (TtT) summer school, between 4th and 11th of August. Read on to learn about some of the experiences of Maxine Peregin, Head of the Organising Committee and testimonials of several participants!
After entering the training world at the TtT 2012 in Romania, I immediately knew that I just had to bring training and EFPSA to Malta to share this amazing experience I had with my fellow Maltese students. So thats exactly what I did! It was a rough few months before the TtT because organising such an event does involve a lot of workbut in the end it was all worth it because my dream became a reality! ! Although I spent most of my time in the kitchen cooking for the participants and trainers, I felt I was re-living my TtT experience all over again. Spending a week with such an awesome group of EFPSA people in my own country felt surreal I kept expecting to wake up from the dream I was having. The best part of the whole event for me was our final Training Day in which the 12 participants delivered trainings to Maltese students. It was a huge success and all the Maltese students that attended gave us great feedback! And for our 12 TtT participants this was also a great experience which I think they will remember forever. Im so proud to have been part of this event, and I cant wait to deliver trainings with these 12 motivated new trainers who I saw grow so much in just 7 days.

Testimonials
The TtT is a seven-day summer school opening doors into the world of training An exciting, experiential, and nonformal educational environment, the TtT is about learning about oneself as much as how to teach & work with others! Participants from the TtT may be invited to join the EFPSA trainers pool a supportive environment for furthering training skills and experiences ! Since 2010 the TtT has been hosted in Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania and Malta

I realised I am with right people, in the right time, in the right place!

I can honestly say that TtT was the most challenging, rewarding and fun experience of my summer, and I can only recommend anyone who is interested in training to apply for it next year! Thorbjrn Larsen TtT 2013 in Malta was one the best weeks in my life. TtT was not only an big opportunity to grow. After this event I have been full of happiness, full of incredible experiences and new inspiring knowledge, and of course full of EFPSA spirit. Thanks to all participants, great trainers and lovely org.com people I realised I am with right people in the right time in the right place - I became aware of one big truth...that magic happens just because of us. Katarina Sabolova The TtT is an opportunity to grow personally and to exceed your own limits. The highlight of this year's TtT was the possibility to deliver a training. And Ill tell you one thing: there is no better feeling than the knowledge that you have helped someone to make a personal development - a realisation! This was the very one moment when I realised that I have found my professional determination! It was the hardest, but also the best trip of my life and the beginning of my professional future. Natasha Jovchevska

Maxine Peregin Head of TtT Organising Committee 2013

The agenda of the Train the Trainers summer school is arranged by the EFPSA Training Office, which is currently led by Emilia Karjalainen seen here with Klaudia Piotrowicz at the Joint EB & MR Meeting

Next year the TtT will be taking place in Slovenia in August

Our latest event | Conference I

With the aim of introducing a new event to the portfolio of annual opportunities open to European psychology students, the first EFPSA Conference took off in spectacular style in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Reaching the end of the programme, it was clear that the next edition cannot take place too soon!
It was undoubtedly with large amount of anticipation and excitement that around a 150 eager participants journeyed to Amsterdam for the first EFPSA Conference at the end of November. The Conference was the first of its type, and represented a culmination of many ambitions and hopes for EFPSA. Perhaps at the heart of these intentions, was the notion of hosting a shortened event (four-days, in contrast to a sevenday format, typical to most EFPSA events) which placed science at the top of its agenda. The Conference certainly lived up to this expectation. Featuring lectures, workshops, roundtable-discussions, poster-presentations, research pitches, and a panel-discussion, the scientific programme excelled, and the Conference stands out as another EFPSA event placing a clear emphasis on taking participants outside the normal classroom environment and offering up highcaliber science.

Featuring lectures, workshops, roundtablediscussions, poster-presentations, research pitches, and a panel-discussion, the scientific programme excelled
It's also worth noting that another motivation for the Conference was to establish an event which would bring the opportunity for members of the EFPSA working community to fully engage in an EFPSA event - since all too often, these individuals are caught up in internal meetings and organisational affairs during our annual events! It was especially pleasing therefore to see so many familiar faces amongst the participants: Executive Board members and Member Representatives, both current and past, were among those presenting research, hosting discussions and enjoying the atmosphere. Planning and preparation for the Conference was undertaken by an organising committee in the Netherlands who began their journey after being nominated for the role of host in April 2012 at the annual Congress. We would take this opportunity to thank the organisers for all their work, preparations and warm hospitality throughout the event.

diverse cultures, stimulating conversations, rekindled friendships, positive energy and open-minds
The Conference theme, 'Networking: from Neuron to Society' was broad, but being so it allowed the scientific programme to touch upon the diverse nature of psychology. Following a clear path from the first to the last day, the programme began with insights from high-class speakers on the role of networks within brain systems, it followed with thought-provoking ideas on how these interpretations may inform our understanding of clinical psychology, continued with eye-opening perspectives on animal psychology and then on to how to consider the notion of networks in society, media, and beyond. The atmosphere of the event was characteristically EFPSA: diverse cultures, stimulating conversations, rekindled friendships, positive energy and open-minds. And so being, the Conference concluded marking an end to the EFPSA events of 2013. Our congratulations and most sincere appreciation goes out to the organisers of the Conference, who worked for two years prior to the event, and tirelessly throughout the event itself to ensure the event ran smoothly and was enjoyed by everyone.

We can only hope that the future of the Conference is as bright as its beginnings

Insights | Joint EB & MR Meeting

!
The Joint EB & MR Meeting is the principal internal meeting of the EFPSA mandate. Typically taking place at the end of October, the meeting provides a platform for the Executive Board and Member Representatives of the organisation to come together mid-way through the one year mandate. Its an immensely important meeting for EFPSAs management and sustainability, but for many of us its also one of the most exciting, fun, and fulfilling times in the EFPSA year.
This year the Joint EB & MR Meeting was hosted in Ballintoy, Northern Ireland, between the 26th! October and 2nd! November. Presentations, workshops, and discussions made up much of the schedule of the programme, but there was certainly time left over for relaxing and enjoying the company of those with whom we work, but so seldom see in person. Several plenary sessions were held for all participants at which valuable feedback was gained on a range of topics. The remaining time was setaside for discussion and meetings within each of the teams: those organising events, running the online services and the EFPSA offices of Finance and Marketing, as well as the Member Representatives. The week began with an Opening Ceremony which presented the mandates activities and key accomplishments so far. A General Assembly followed afterward this meeting represents the legislative component of EFPSA, and is where important decisions, proposals and acknowledgements are voted upon by the EFPSA Member Representatives. The Member Representatives themselves are delegates from EFPSA Member Organisations, and hold voting privileges at the General Assembly. Some of the outcomes of this meeting you can read about in later in this newsletter under Internal Developments (page 15). On the final day, a presentation was led by William (President) and Lus (Vice-President) outlining several steps which have already been taken under the auspices of Strengthening the Federation an effort designed to improve the connections between Members of the EFPSA federation and enhance the sense of common purposes we all share. The session concluded with proposals for more substantial plans for meetings between Members something we look forward to developing in the New Year.

Presentations, workshops, and discussions made up much of the schedule of the programme, but there was time left over for relaxing and enjoying the company of those with whom we work, but so seldom see in person
During the week a number of workshops were held to bring participants new knowledge and skills. The Finance and Activities Offices (led by Angie and Antoine respectively) collaborated on a sponsorship workshop for events teams: a session aimed at presenting EFPSAs working practices, and for sharing tips and tricks on raising sponsorship for events. The workshop was warmly received by attendees and promises to be the beginning for more collaborations between these two Offices. Another plenary workshop, conducted on the theme of EFPSA Corporate Visual Identity, marked a major waypoint in the history of EFPSAs visual identity.! ! All participants of the meeting had the chance to get hands-on experience with new logos, templates and poster design in the presence of the Marketing Office all of whom shared their creative talents and support with participants. Podio was also introduced to both EB and MR groups, and a workshop held to demonstrate the potential of this socially-driven online workspace which we hope will bring about a new chapter in how EFPSA communicates and works online.

A delightful social programe keeping us all entertained featuring traditional Irish music, story-telling & dancing, a Halloween party and an excursion to the magnificent Giants Causeway!
A delightful social programme was also arranged by the Irish hosts, keeping us all entertained while the cold and rain kept us all inside. Participants were treated to traditional Irish music & story-telling on one evening a very funny evening we could all agree which was followed up with some traditional Irish dancing. Half-way through the week, and we enjoyed an excursion to the magnificent Giants Causeway just along the coast from our venue! On account of the timing of the meeting, we also enjoyed a Halloween party! Our sincere appreciation goes to the staff of Sheep Island View Hostel for their hospitality throughout the week. All things considered, the meeting was a great success, with countless discussions and meetings sure to have far-reaching consequences for the remainder of the mandate. For all the teams, the week served to provide a time for taking perspective on whats already been achieved, establishing clear goals for the six months ahead of us in the mandate, and of course making new friends and sharing experiences.

Under Preparation| thoughts from organisers of

European Summer School VIII | Austria, 2014
The organisation of the ESS 2014 started little more than a month ago; regardless, there are already several updates on the eighth version of this unique scientific event. The Psychology of Work: Research on Occupation & Organisations is the theme that will bring scientific life to the ESS 2014. Research on Work and Organisational Psychology and its relevance for working practices has been increasing over the past few years. Additionally, there has been a growing number of young psychology students interested in this topic. ! Austria will welcome the eighth ESS between the 13th and 20th of July. The event will take place in Vorarlberg, a small village in the far West of Austria, bordering with the small country of Liechtenstein. Surrounded by the Alps, the Aktivhotel Kanisfluh will be the venue where Participants, Supervisors, and other Guests will be hosted. ! The organising committee that has been in charge of preparing this outstanding event is constituted by Joana Costa, as the Senior Coordinator, Ana Odabasic, as responsible for Social Affairs, Niamh Doyle and Julie Thorvaldsen, as responsible for Financial Affairs, Sara Plakolm, as responsible for Scientific Affairs, and finally Elisa Haller, as Head of the Host Team.

Train the Trainers V | Slovenia, 2014

The TtT is one of several essential services that EFPSA can offer to the psychology students of Europe. After four consecutive years of facilitating the development of crucial, in-demand soft skills and promoting the value of non-formal, experiential education, the field of training in EFPSA definitely reached a new level.! Having experienced the event for myself, it didn't take much to inspire me to contribute to re-creating such an amazing learning opportunity. As the standards for the TtT event have risen accordingly, preparation for the fifth edition is in full swing. In August of 2014, the 12 chosen participants will experience the intensive week of education and growth in lovely Slovenia. Due to Slovenia's geographical diversity, we have are faced with a big (but rewarding) challenge of choosing between a myriad of wonderful and equally beautiful regions in which to situate the event.! Being appointed to design the stage for the experience, and ensure that everything runs smoothly in the backstage as well, my expectations are nothing short of dramatic. I can say on the behalf of myself and my team, that we will do our best, to envision and manifest a stage that will continue the trajectory of excellence, that previous generations have managed to develop.

Representing EFPSA
In this section we present several articles detailing the opportunities EFPSA has had in recent months to represent itself at external events across Europe. We are grateful to the hosts and organisers of these events where we were privileged to enjoy the events as participants, as well as representatives of EFPSA! !

July 2013 | European Congress of Psychology Stockholm, Sweden

The biannual European Cong ress of Psychology (ECP), organised under the auspices of the European Federation of Psychology Associations (EFPA), is one of the largest psychology congresses in Europe. This August the congress was hosted in the beautiful city of Stockholm, and attended by a large diversity of researchers and practitioners from across the globe. Also in attendance were two delegates of EFPSA, the President, William Steel, and the External Relations Officer, Per Krakau (pictured below left). From the first to the last day, an EFPSA promotions stand was hosted, at which individuals came to hear about w h at E F P S A o f f e r e d i n t h e w ay o f opportunities to psychology students all under the theme of EFPSA: Join the

European Federation of Psychologists Associations

As a affiliate member of EFPA since 2001, EFPSA are privileged to be regularly invited to participate in several of EFPAs annual activities. This includes presence at its internal meetings. These meetings bring EFPSA a valuable opportunity not only to learn about the goings-on in the world of professional psychology, but to highlight the role and potential of students of psychology in Europe. Later in the mandate, the EFPSA External Relations Office look forward to developing greater contact with the organisers of ECP 2015, an event organised under the auspices of EFPA. In the mean time, heres a brief summary of our involvement with EFPA this mandate so far!

Social Impact Initiative at a very broad level - a reflection of the early stages at which the initiative is currently working. Nevertheless, the topic fitted perfectly with the broad background of the sixteen individuals who woke themselves for the earliest working session of the ECP schedule. The pair received some great feedback on the ninety-minute session after participants, who included some familiar EFPSA faces, shared perspectives, interpretations and experiences of what social impact meant to them, and how existing projects had been undertaken in countries around the world, from Nigeria to Norway. The atmosphere through the session was warm, and all left with a very positive sense for how psychology may be used to bring about great change in society.! Overall, the ECP was a great event to participate in. There were superb lectures, a formidable display of Swedish taste and culture on show during the social programme (not least during a reception at the magnificent Blue Hall of Stockholm City Hall), and great fun shared between students who came together on several evenings throughout the week. We hope that other participants enjoyed the event as much as our EFPSA representatives did! In related news, Per and William are already working away on establishing an even stronger EFPSA presence for the next ECP, in Milan, 2015.

Journey. Leaflets were distributed, and students and professionals alike heard about the recent activities of EFPSA surely many of whom will, in time, find their way to one of our events. The pair also hosted the first active event of the EFPSA Social Impact Initiative - a roundtable discussion on the topic of how psychological knowledge may be used to bring about a meaningful change in society. The session aimed to consider the notion of EFPSA's intentions for its

EFPA Presidents Council Meetings | May & November

These meetings bring together the Presidents of EFPA member associations. They are a great opportunity for EFPSA to get to know EFPA and its activities, but also to share what EFPSA is currently involved in and engage in discussions about possible routes of collaboration between the two organisations. This mandate has seen two Presidents Council Meetings take place in Brussels. The first was attended by William (President), and the second by Lus (Vice-President).

EFPA General Assembly | July

Just one day after the closing of the ECP in Stockholm, EFPA gathered for its General Assembly. This was a lively and spirited meeting from which EFPSA representatives gained a great deal of experience on the topic of how our own General Assemblies might be developed in the future.

EFPSA Nominations for EFPA Working Groups

On account of our being an Affiliate Member of EFPA, EFPSA was able to submit nominations on behalf of individuals to join the EFPA Boards, Standing Committees and Task Forces for the mandate 2013-2015. After an application process, we were pleased to nominate eleven individuals to fill positions. We are looking forward to developing the contact which EFPSA maintains with these individuals in the hope that we get the very most possible from this wonderful opportunity for bringing student representation to a professional level!

Representing EFPSA
August 2013 | Right to Research Coalition General Assembly Budapest, Hungary
Chris Noone & Marcel Zwyssig of the EFPSA Social Impact Task Force attended the second General Assembly of the Right to Research Coalition (R2RC) in Budapest this August. R2RC is an international initiative dedicated toward advocacy of the Open Access movement. EFPSA is committed to Open Access, and a proud member of R2RC. The meeting provided insight on current progress of the movement, developments of R2RC and training on delivering education relating to Open Access. The latter training will certainly help to ensure that EFPSA furthers the Open Access cause through our own support and efforts. On a related note, EFPSA supported Open Access week this October, and continue to work toward developing new ways to support the Open Access movement. Currently, responsibility for maintaining this commitment has been adopted by the Social Impact Task Force.

August 2013 | Nordic WHO Simulation Copenhagen, Denmark

In early August, Anne Rom Petersen (of the Social Impact Task Force), Katalin Todor-So and Vanessa Feck (Member Representatives), Miriam Thiel (Study Abroad Coordinator) and William Steel (President) of EFPSA, were delegates of the first Nordic World Health Organisation Simulation (NorWHO) a fourday event hosted in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event took a very different format to that of EFPSAs own events. As the name suggests, it involved a small-scale simulation of a European Union WHO general assembly a summit meeting of EU member states, at which delegates work toward the passing of legislation and resolutions which seek to improve global health.! At the NorWHO Simulation, delegates worked on the drafting of a resolution concerning the topic of Mental Health. To prepare for this task, each delegate had beforehand written a position paper outlining their perspective on the topic. Together we were representing UN member states Hungary (Katalin and Vanessa), Bangladesh! (Miriam) and the NGO EFPA (Anne & William).!

As psychology students, we had several aims for the event; to advocate for psychology as a science and a profession, to promote a holistic approach to health that embraces the view that mental health is integral to all aspects of human life, and to listen to the perspectives and insights of other participants, many of whom had medical backgrounds.

November 2013 | Nordic Psychology Students Conference Aalborg, Denmark

EFPSA was honoured to have been present at the fifth annual Nordic Psychology Students Conference, hosted in Aalborg, Denmark, November 2013. The conference welcomed students from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Estonia for a programme of lectures and discussions on the theme of Thinking Through Culture. The atmosphere was cosy, the organisers incredibly friendly and the science very engaging. Lectures were delivered by researchers and academics, but students also contributed to the programme. We would certainly encourage students of these countries to consider this conference in the future next year the event will be hosted in Sweden. We just hope that some of the participants might make their way to an EFPSA event in the near future! We also wish the Nordic psychology students the best of luck in development of the initiative as they consider the future shape of the these meetings. If you want to learn more about the Nordic Psychology Students Conference visit their website: npsconference.wordpress.com/about/

The majority of delegates were medical students, others were of political science and social health backgrounds bringing valuable approaches and perspectives to discussions, and very different insights on how to approach mental health issues. What was so incredible and unique about this cocktail of backgrounds was how it fostered an inter-disciplinary approach during the drafting of the resolution. This was plain to see in both plenary and regional block discussions, where debate was lively and impassioned, and in the final resolution that was produced. Each day we pushed forward with our agenda, describing the many ways in which psychological practice is so crucial to the initiative of improving mental health of society through improved education, better and greater access to psychological care, but also through simply increasing the prominence of mental wellbeing as a core component of healthcare systems.

NorWHO Simulation participants Anne Rom Petersen, Miriam Thiel, William Steel, Katalin Todor-So and Vanessa Feck from EFPSA in Copenhagen, August 2013. After the delegates successfully passed their resolution, the event ended with a wonderful formal dinner.

The Journal of European Psychology Students

There have been some exciting developments to JEPS this mandate, some of which are sure to have considerable impact on the nature and character of the journal in its future! But theres more to come in the New Year!
The Journal of European Psychology Students (JEPS) is an open-access, doubleblind peer-reviewed journal for psychology students worldwide. It is run by highly motivated European psychology students and has been publishing since 2009. JEPS aims to give psychology students the chance to gain experience in publishing and to improve their scientific skills. Furthermore, JEPS provides students with the opportunity to share their research and to make their first step in a scientific career. ! In July 2013, JEPS entered a partnership with Ubiquity Press, an open access publisher of peer-reviewed, academic journals based in London. This collaboration will catapult JEPS even further into the world of scientific publishing, as Ubiquity Press is providing JEPS with important services, such as anti-plagiarism software, DOI and impact factor registration, support with indexing, publishing, and marketing. In September, the new JEPS website, hosted by Ubiquity Press, went online and attracted a great amount of new visitors. It is a significant asset for JEPS to be able to work with a professional publisher. ! The Editorial Team is pleased to announce that the 4th issue of JEPS has been published on August 1st, 2013. It contains four research articles as well as four literature reviews spanning across several fields of psychology, including social psychology, cognitive psychology, applied psychology, and neuroscience. The authors are psychology students from Ireland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, the Czech Republic, and the Netherlands. ! In September, JEPS has also published the First Work in Progress Special Edition. This issue contains six Work-in-Progress (WiP) reports from the student groups that attended the 2012 European Summer School in Portugal and partook in EFPSA's Junior Researcher Programme. The WiPs are short methodology papers that outline the steps undertaken by research groups in developing and carrying out a research project in the context of low-resource, independent, student-driven, cross-cultural research. ! The JEPS Editorial Team is currently preparing the 5th issue of the journal. JEPS has recently adopted a continuous online publication model which ensures that finished articles are published online without delay, as opposed to being published punctually in a yearly issue. The JEPS Editorial Team has also developed comprehensive guidelines for Authors, Associate Editors and Reviewers, in order to conform to JEPS high scientific standards and to promote good scientific practice. We can also look forward to several marketing initiatives from JEPS over the next half year, designed to raise awareness about JEPS amongst European psychology students and academics.

The journal was established in 2009 and has rapidly grown into a fully peerreviewed scientific journal for psychology students JEPS serves as an academic platform for the exchange of bright and challenging ideas, based on both research as well as literature reviews JEPS now operates a continuous online publication model meaning you are always welcome to submit your manuscript

With the implementation of recent changes and several promotion activities ahead, JEPS are looking forward to a successful second half of the mandate, with activities sure to further increase both scientific level and the popularity of JEPS across Europe.

Alongside the journal the Editorial team also host the JEPS Bulletin: posting twice a month since November 2010 on a wide range of exciting topics of psychological research

Revitalised| the Study Abroad service

Of several online services which EFPSA hosts, it is Study Abroad which has gone through perhaps the most radical period of development over the last year. We are happy to be able to take this opportunity to present some of the exciting features of this revitalised online resource something were sure will be of use to many European psychology students!

Introducing Studying Abroad

Study Abroad is a unique experience that EFPSA wants to promote for all psychology students through our Study Abroad service. The main aim of this service is to facilitate the process of studying psychology abroad by providing general guidelines, information about universities, postgraduate programmes and experience stories about studying psychology in more than 30 European countries. !

An online information resource designed to bring students interested in studying psychology throughout Europe all the information they need to ensure they make the choices best suited for them

Country information map

On the Study Abroad website you can find information about all cities & universities of EFPSAs member countries/ regions where theres the possibility to study psychology. Whats more, there are many more interesting facts, such as the countrys higher education system, tuition and living costs, language of tuition, and information on how to become a clinical psychologist in that country. To simplify your search, we have created a map of Europe that allows you to easily browse through every countrys information. !

Experience stories
Psychology students who go on a short term exchange (e.g. Erasmus), entire program abroad (e.g. Master) or an internship abroad can share their experience with us. Such students are welcome to fill out our questionnaire which is designed with the intention of helping students to get more information about psychology studies in different countries. We are interested in academic, social and financial perspectives. In this way we can publish personal experiences and testimonials of students who had foreign university, professor-, lecture-, and money-issues. Experience stories can also be browsed using the country map. !

Postgraduate database
Many students are interested in postgraduate programmes which are taught entirely in English. This is why we will provide information about psychology related Master and PhD programmes offered in Europe. Students can browse the database by country, university and field of study. This will be an easy way to find a suitable postgraduate programme if students want to study abroad. !

Much of development of the Study Abroad service has come from the dedication of Miriam Thiel (right), Senior Coordinator of Study Abroad since 2012, and Masa Kafel (left), who joined the team in April 2013.

Useful information
We also have a range of other useful information such as news about Erasmus, Erasmus Mundus Master programme, the Europsy certificate, and the Academic year within Europe.

Social Impact Initiative

Origins & Story so far !
The Social Impact Initiative was introduced into the portfolio of EFPSA activities in April 2013, at the beginning of the current mandate. As a unique component within EFPSA, the initiative is aiming to make a positive contribution to European society by facilitating the application of psychological knowledge into society through linking students, academics, professionals and the public. Currently responsible for this task are six individuals, who work within the Social Impact Task Force.!At present the initiative includes two projects run in parallel. The first and primary project, entitled Combatting the Stigma of Mental Illness, is being positioned as the core area of activity for the initiative. The theme was chosen by the EFPSA Member Representatives from several which the team had researched. ! A second project surrounds the open-access movement, and reflects EFPSAs long-standing commitment to the principles of open-access dating back several years the project seeks to work in cooperation with the Journal of European Psychology Students, an open-access publication. !!
!

A Case for Open Access

From Chris Noone, Social Impact Task Force
Theres a problem with traditional academic publishing. Due to exorbitant prices, millions of students cannot access the research they need. Whats more, the money spent on subscriptions to these journals could be put to much better use within the education system. This problem does not just affect students though. Professionals in many fields including law, medicine and policy-making are denied access to the latest research which should inform their practice. There is an alternative. Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions (Bailey, 2006). EFPSA is a staunch supporter of the OA movement and publishes JEPS as an open access journal.

Visibility!
Gaining visibility is likely to remain at the top of our objectives for the coming months, but in these early days its been critical. Whenever possible members of the Task Force have presented the initiative both formally and informally at events both internal and external to EFPSA. This includes three international events this summer: in Stockholm (the ECP), in Copenhagen (the Nordic WHO Simulation) and in Budapest at the Right to Research Coalition General Assembly). You may read about the roundtable discussion held at the ECP in this newsletter. We've also been motivating the EFPSA community with the cause, for instance at the Joint EB & MR Meeting in October and through a workshop & posters at the recent EFPSA Conference in Amsterdam. We're tremendously pleased by the reception we've had on these occasions we cant wait to begin providing official materials and really getting going on the campaign!! "!

EFPSA became involved in the Open Access (OA) movement through our partnership with Martin Uhl, who gave a lecture on Open Access at the 2009 EFPSA Congress in Germany and then helped the JEPS team migrate to the Open Journal system. Following this, the JEPS team wrote many articles about OA on the JEPS Bulletin which was very successful in bringing OA to the attention of European psychology students. The next major development in EFPSAs involvement in the OA movement was when EFPSA became a member of the Right to Research Coalition (R2RC) in 2011. Since then EFPSA has been represented at the R2RCs first two annual General Assemblies. Being involved with the OA movement provided EFPSA with experience in dealing with issues of societal importance and in part inspired the establishment of the Social Impact Task Force (SITF). Currently, the SITF, along with its other concerns, ensures that EFPSA continues to use its network to promote OA and keep psychology students informed about the issue and what they can do. Check out our new webpage dedicated to Open Access.

Looking toward the future!

For us, Social Impact is about making a positive, significant and lasting contribution to society through establishing a campaign aimed at highlighting, and reducing, the stigma of mental illness. There are two key components to this vision. Firstly the dissemination of relevant information to this end we've undertaken research on, and resourced materials from, existing organisations and campaigns similar to our own. Secondly, and over a longer timeframe, we aim for the establishment of a campaign that will highlight and tackle various issues relating to the stigma of mental illness. In both respects we aim to secure partners utilising the wide geographical distribution of EFPSA assets, and connections we currently have. Collaboration with other NGOs and existing campaigns working in the same field as ourselves is also a strong likelihood. By the end of this year we also aim to publish our first position paper outlining our motivations and stance relating to this campaign.! "!

Introducing EFPSA Alumni

From the Alumni Body
After successful integration of the Alumni Body and Group into EFPSA at the 27th Annual Congress in Turkey, the Alumni Body is working on new plans and directions. Representatives elected to the Alumni Body for the next 2 years mandate are Dalya Samur (Immediate Past President), Aart Franken (EFPSA President in the 2008/2009 mandate) and Vedran Le"i (EFPSA President in the 2011/2012 mandate).

EFPSA Around Europe

From the Board of Management
EFPSA is almost as much about experiencing European culture as it is about psychology. Just ask any of the Alumni what some of the best parts of being a part of EFPSA was for them and theyre likely to mention the travelling! But just how diverse is EFPSA considering where all of its events have been and where our Member Organisations are located? And what would your EFPSA journey look like if you mapped out all the events youve been too? Well, very soon youll know! Weve been working on a Google map which marks out the locations of all past EFPSA Congresses, European Summer Schools, Train the Trainers summer schools, and a number of other recent events. Clicking on each icon uncovers information about the theme and dates of the event. Whats more, you can look up each of the 32 current Member Organisations for useful contact information and links including their homepages and Facebook pages.
"##$%&!'()*!

A group of EFPSA Alumni gather for a photograph on the final night of the Congress, April 2013. Earlier that week the Alumni was formally introduced into EFPSA by way of approval at the General Assembly. Later, the Alumni Body held their first Assembly, appointing a Board to take responsibility of the Alumni initiative over the coming years.
One several projects currently under development, one vital issue that has under discussion is the implementation of an EFPSA Alumni Web page. There are still several open topics which need to be considered before launching the website such as the adjustable features, connection with other networks, promotion plan and other. In order to strengthen the visibility of Alumni group among its members, as well as active EFPSA community, the Alumni Body is planning a set of different promotion activities. One of the new projects will be monthly interviews with the EFPSA Alumni members which will give us an idea what is happening with people after they finish their career in EFPSA. In line with this, the EFPSA Chronicles project will be continued. Furthermore, discussion about the development of the Alumni structure and its activities will take place since a lot of ideas and inputs where gathered at the first Alumni Assembly. Finally, the arrangements about the next Alumni meeting that will be organised for 2014 are in progress as well. For all the questions feel free to contact Alumni Body representatives and check our FB Alumni group for further information.

While we will continue adding more details about the events, especially some of the much older ones, the map will be being launched in the first weeks of the New Year! !

A Glimpse into EFPSA History|

An interview with Frank Gehbauer
EFPSA was founded in 1987, a time when most of the students who are currently involved in the organisation weren't even born. So what was it like? How did it get started? What's changed and what's still the same? Recently we spoke to Mr. Frank Gehbauer from Germany, one of the founding fathers of EFPSA who able to answer some of these questions while he told us more about his EFPSA story. !
"! Congress in Lund when we decided to introduce an additional meeting in between Congreses. The first one was held six months later in Berlin for the first time. !

What was EFPSA was working on? Which projects, events, services? !
Honestly, I can't remember very well but one of the first big things was a database, to make studying abroad easier. In 1988 information flow wasn't easy like today - there was definitely no internet, information exchange was slow, and even the EU wasn't that connected. ERASMUS was only introduced at the end of 1987, and it wasn't that usual for students to go abroad like it is today.

So how did it all begin with EFPSA and how did you get involved?!
I was there from the very beginning, a letter arrived from Lisbon at the Faculty of psychology in Berlin (Technical University of Berlin). Of course, it was West Berlin in 1987, the city was still divided. Together with another student, we were invited to Lisbon to participate in the first congress of psyhology students. ! !! As a first step in building an organisation we had to deal with very basic questions. First question, for example - which language to use? In the end we agreed we should use French and English. The second question was should everybody have the same number of votes? We decided to make it simple, one country - one vote. ! I quickly took part as a Head of German section of EFPSA and I participated in 3 Congresses, in Lisbon, Portugal, in Liege, Belgium, and in Lund, Sweden. After three Congresses I had to say goodbye. But I was very involved personally and had a lot of good friends in EFPSA so it was very important to me, very important part of my life. !

What about the practical aspect of EFPSA work. How often did you have meetings, was it only at the Congress? How did you communicate with one another? !
Good question, I guess through letters. Phone calls were much more expensive than today. Internet, don't even think about it. So yes, good old ordinary letters and meeting personally in Congress. Within Germany though, I organised meetings in Berlin, perhaps several times a year; and used connections with other universities in Germany to involve them in EFPSA and its activities. There was also a relationship with EFPA (European federation of Psychology Associations), although EFPSA wasn't part of EFPA until much later, but there was a relationship.!

In an interview with Mirna Cerovac, Frank Gehbauer (above) recalls the founding of EFPSA in 1987.!
! How it affected me professionally, well, in the beginning I added to my CV that I was one of the founders of EFPSA. The problem was, when I applied for a job, nobody knew EFPSA or what that meant! But, indirectly, I think I'm much more international orientated and all these friendships with other students from other countries made me much more flexible and curious to learn other cultures and languages. Learning languages definitely helped me to find a very good job (Frank currently works as a consulatant in a mulitinational automotive supplier).!

!! Looking back, how would you describe how EFPSA affected your life, both professionally and personally? !
I like this question...it's very funny for me. When I travelled for the first time to Lisbon, I recognised my English wasnt good enough, my French was even worse. So I had some problems to communicate in the beginning, I wasn't able to understand everything. I remember Danish people helped me to translate when I didn't follow something. So, my first thing was to improve my English! ! !! But I think EFPSA was the first step in my life not only to learn languages, to be conscious the world is much bigger than Berlin and Germany, so I started to travel a lot. I think today I have much more international profile thanks to EFPSA. In 1990 I went to Spain to live there for a year and learn Spanish. A couple of years later I moved to Mexico for 4 years. My wife is French and now I'm living in Hungary. So many students from different universities and we shared many interests. It just opened my eyes, that we have so many things in common. ! !

Are you still in contact with some of the people from that period of life?
Yes, several. One friend who took part in last Congress in Lund, we are often in contact. As well as the girl who organised meeting in Berlin, she's a good friend of mine. And the first guy I travelled with to Lisbon with, I'm in touch with him too - I wrote him I will have this interview with you, that's very funny for us, after so many years. !

!! All in all, more than 80 students are currently involved in EFPSA, holding different positions. What kind of working structure did EFPSA have at that time? How many member countries, how many students or positions were there? !

Knowing what you now do about EFPSA, is there anything you are particularly surprised with and any final thoughts?

I don't know if you can imagine how it was to found an organisation in 1987. Europe was still divided, there was no eastern European members. I haven't counted really, but I think we had 11 members: Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. Definitely not 32! And around 20 students, maybe 30. As a general rulewe decided the organiser of the next Congress would be President of EFPSA. In addition we established a Treasurer and a Secretary. More work on the structure came up with after the third

While reading over the website, I realised how much larger EFPSA is and that youre much more active than it ever was in my time. My first thoughts are that I'm happy EFPSA survived. It's great that a rather small initiative grew so big and became so important - I feel honoured of having been involved in its beginnings.

We wish to extend our sincerest of thanks to Frank for his time and insights into EFPSAs earliest daysnot to mention his work all those years ago! !

Internal Developments
As a rapidly evolving and highly dynamic organisation, there are always plenty of developments in EFPSA. As a Board of Management were privileged to have perspective on the innovation and creativity of over eighty individuals contributing toward the maintenance and development of EFPSA. We endeavour to keep friends of EFPSA up to date on recent developments through the Board of Management Postcards published at the beginning of each month. But in case you missed some things, aside from news from the events and services you can read about elsewhere in this Newsletter, heres a brief look at some other developments and highlights of the mandate so far

Introducing|
Without a doubt, the vast majority of work within EFPSA is conducted online and across a wide range of virtual mediums: Facebook, Sharepoint, Dropbox, Gmail, WeTransfer, Google Drive to be sure they all serve their functions well. But for EFPSA, a common working interface and point of contact for the organisation was always missing. Were incredibly pleased to report that this gap might finally have been filled with the introduction of Podio: a remarkably versatile resource for online-work, featuring tools for communication, document storage, project sharing, task distribution, online meetings and an almost inexhaustible list of other features! All permanent positions in EFPSA have been recently been outfitted with profiles, and while were only just getting started with Podio, the feedback so far is great! !

EFPSA Corporate Visual Identity

CVI has, for a number of years now, been at the heart of EFPSAs marketing strategy. The characteristic EFPSA orange, typography, and brandmark Psy, have been put to excellent use since their introduction several years ago. However, with growth of EFPSAs activities, there was a need for updating, and in places refreshing, our visual character. Several updates, and a complete set of fresh graphics, were presented at the Joint EB & MR Meeting in October. Without doubt we can say that EFPSA has created for itself a powerful visual identity simultaneously functional and recognisable, we only hope these updates add to this combination!

EFPSA Day 2013

Taking place in December 2013 was EFPSA Day: a unique, pan-European promotional event from EFPSA held once a year. For EFPSA Day 2013, an unprecedented amount of preparation and organisation went into the event coordinated by the Marketing Office. But it all seems to have been worth the effort, with more than 70 independent EFPSA Day stands set up around Europe on December 3rd, this was the biggest EFPSA Day yet!

Online Calendar

Training Office

We are pleased to be able to report that we recently launched the EFSPA Calendar an online resource which hosts details and dates relevant to open and upcoming EFPSA Calls & Events. So if youre curious what opportunities are waiting just around the corner, whether theres an application process opening for a position within EFPSA, or registration for an annual event coming up soon this is the place to check! (www.efpsa.org/calendar)

Trainings are a valuable resource within EFPSA thanks to highly dedicated and skilled trainers on hand to deliver trainings at our internal events. This year the Training Office went beyond precedent in conducting a thorough evaluation of teams to develop a clear picture of whats needed, preparing a solution, and delivering results at the Joint EB & MR Meeting. These practices work together with the the recently revised EFPSA Training Mentoring System which aims to provide support & guidance to graduates of the TtT as they learn to deliver trainings within and outside of EFPSA.

General Assembly Outcomes

Our most recent General Assembly took place at the Joint EB & MR Meeting in October. Fourteen motions were voted passed by the Member Representatives, a list including: new procedures relating to how EFPSA events are formally closed; approval of individuals nominated for taking responsibility of some of next years events; changes in responsibility of JEPS and the External Relations Office; and approval of two new positions introduced into the Executive Board: one to the Junior Researcher Programme, and a second to the Webteam.

Member Organisations Corner

From Agne Plder (Estonia)
EPSA, the Estonian Psychology Students Association was called into action in 1992 and is celebrating its classy 21th birthday this November. EPSA has been a member of EFPSA since 1994 giving the Estonian psychology students a great opportunity to be part of EFPSA by working for, participating and organizing many events during almost 20 years. The aim of EPSA is to connect and encourage the collaboration between Estonian psychology students, represent their needs and interests, enhance the teaching of psychology and the psychological way of thinking in Estonian society through evolving contacts with professionals, NGO-s and different student organizations (also internationally). Therefore EPSA organises various educative yet social events for psychology students, stressing both the practical and scientific side of psychology. For example in Psychothursdays an intimate discussion is carried out with a psychologist or a professor who has done something remarkable with his/her education. Series of events aim to connect psychology with different other specialties (neurology, law etc.) or with organisations that connect or use the services of psychologists (hospitals, prisons etc.). This year is a starting point for several projects in EPSA. For example helping Estonian professional organization EPA adapt the EuroPsy qualification in Estonia and gathering different specific foreign opportunities (universities, annual events, projects etc.) in one digestible form by using the previous experience of our former psychology students. EPSA strives to engage more and more active members to help organise the events or to make their ideas come true while gaining a worthy experience.

From Cansu Aykac (Turkey)

In Turkey, our Member Organisation (MO), the Turkish Psychology Students Working Group (TPOCG), has a very busy and specific calendar. We organise three meetings in a calendar year: one at autumn, one at spring, and one at the annual congress. These meetings are organised only with university and class representatives, and the Board of Management. About 150 people gather together in one university and make meetings about future of our MO. Of course, we dont forget to have fun! During our summer holidays, we have our annual congress. The congress is open to every psychology students and also students in other faculties if they want to join. Around 1000 people get together and get to learn more about one topic, which is selected by the hosting university. Last year, we contributed to the organisation of a congress, held in Spain in September. The president of our MO went as a delegate to contribute to the organisation. We listened to lectures from all Europe and began planning to arrange another congress, which could gather people from all over the world (especially, after successfully hosting the 27th EFPSA Congress in Izmir). Our plans are set in motion, but were taking baby steps. We have big plans, but Im sure that together with our friends at EFPSA, we can make a great job! EFPSA hugs to everyone !
