Meet me Fair
The EPSA Meet Me Fair is a session at EPSA Autumn Assembly during which EPSA Member Associations’ present themselves, their structure, project, and activities with a poster/flyers/stickers to all students interested in knowing more about European associations and international opportunities.
“The Meet me fair project was a great opportunity to learn more about European countries and the focus areas each Pharmacy student association had chosen to enlighten. In my association, SOP, we kept the presentation subtle and minimalistic by simply showing our Instagram page activity and a printed overview of SOPs work areas, events and positions.

People from other associations showed interest in our pharmaceutical faculty’s activities and traditions. The one tradition that created excitement and publicity, was the painting of the lab coats and the “belonging routines” by the older students for freshmen students. Most of the other countries had made promotional material in the form of posters, flags, pins and even small goody bags with chocolates. That was totally another level of dedication and pinning their countries and associations to the rest of EPSA. Enthusiasm, openness and interest in other cultures was undoubtedly the driving force of the meet me fair project.”
Jasmin Farshch Liaison Secretary for SOP, Denmark
“The Meet Me Fair represents an incredible opportunity to get in touch with other Member Associations from all around Europe. Major advantage of the Meet Me Fair is that you are able to connect and exchange information with other associations on the spot, in person, which is ultimately much more beneficial than doing so online.
By participating in the Meet Me Fair I was able to learn from other members, as well as present my own association, in a very relaxing, easy-going atmosphere and I got to hear about other members’ projects, advocacy work, initiatives, etc., whilst networking along the way. This is what makes Meet Me Fair an ideal platform for connecting with students all around Europe - I cannot recommend It enough!”
