Summary

The Board of Educational Affairs (BEA) was founded at the EFPA General Assembly in 2011. Robert Roe (2011) in the description of the Board’s task noted that “EFPA needs a permanent body (‘Board’) that will monitor and assess developments in the teaching of psychology, develop standards, and give advice on issues of concern to students and teachers. The focus shall be on the academic education of psychology at all levels (BA, MA, PhD, postgraduate), but the teaching of psychology to other professions and the general public shall also be included”.

 

BEA is currently comprised of 16 members from various European countries, each representing an EFPA Member National Psychology Association.

 

The purpose of this event is to bring together colleagues interested in the academic education of psychology. We hope that an introduction to the work of the EFPA Board of Educational Affairs will serve as a point of departure for facilitating networking and the exchange of ideas about issues pertaining to contemporary psychology education at all levels, including current and future challenges.
