Dear Reader, It is my pleasure to present you the 3rd edition of the Policy Newsletter of the “ mandate 2020/2021! The purpose of this publication is to inform the EPSA Member

Associations and the EPSA Team on the developments at the European level, especially in the Brussels environment and the activity there, as well as the policy and advocacy work being developed by the EPSA Interns in Brussels (EPSA Intern

Brussels attended online events on behalf of EPSA. In this edition you can read short testimonies from Jess McNamara - EPSA’s Vice President of European Affairs and Andreea Iordache - EPSA’s Educational Affairs Coordinator.

This time you can also find out more about advocacy initiatives coming from five
