Did you know? 1. The alternative name to EPSA was EPSO, the European Pharmaceutical Students’ Organisation! 2. EPSA represents pharmaceutical and not only pharmacy students! 3. Before the Support Fund, EPSA had the East European Fund to help countries from Eastern Europe integrate in the Association! 4. Do you know ŠSSFD Slovenia’s green snake Edi? Go to the EPSA website and you will see it under the EPSA history tab! Its name Edi comes from the EPSA Editorial Board and how it got into Slovenian hands is a long story, disputed by many!
5. The first Summer University was a joint EPSA and EDSA event! 6. EPSA is one of the founding members of WorldMaPs, the predecessor to the current WHSS, and EHSAS, the European Healthcare Students’ Associations Summit! 7.
