European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC)

The European Association for Palliative Care is a European professional association based in Milan, Italy, with members and collective member associations across Europe. Its stated purpose is to promote palliative care in Europe and to support people working in or interested in palliative care at scientific, clinical, and social levels. Its core activities include education, research, publications, and convening multidisciplinary professionals, patients, and volunteers in the field.

EAPC is adjacent to psychedelic medicine through its palliative care role and participation in PsyPal, an EU-funded psilocybin trial focused on psychological distress in palliative patients with COPD, atypical Parkinsonian disorders, ALS, and multiple sclerosis. Public sources describe EAPC as a consortium partner in a broader European effort to build evidence for psychedelic therapy in palliative care and to support future ethical, cost-effective implementation. This makes EAPC relevant to researchers, clinicians, funders, and policy groups working on evidence generation, clinical integration, and patient-centered access in serious illness care.
