EPSA 2022 Program

12th Annual Conference Program

Prague Congress Centre

23rd – 25th June 2022

The venue will be the Prague Congress Centre, located on one of Prague’s hills, which provides visitors with a beautiful view of the silhouette of Prague Castle, together with a myriad of towers belonging to churches, cathedrals, and palaces from the historical city centre. The Congress Centre is one of the largest and best-equipped European centres, the ideal venue for the next EPSA annual event. Metro access to the City Centre from the venue is convenient and takes minutes.
