The Hellenic Neuropsychological Society (HNPS)
The Hellenic Neuropsychological Society (HNPS) was founded in 2014 as the first scientific society of neuropsychology in Greece.
The HNPS has the mission to promote the high-level scientific and professional work of Neuropsychologists in Greece.
The members of HNPS are actively involved in human Neuropsychology in clinical, research and academic settings. A significant proportion of HNPS members are research active in publishing in international peer review scientific journals. The majority of HNPS members practice professionally as clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists, however the society offers membership to professionals, students and academics with a special interest in neuropsychology (i.e. psychologists, cognitive psychologists, neuroscientists, neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation experts, social workers).
The HNPS holds a Full Membership in the Federation of the European Societies of Neuropsychology (FESN), and is represented in the FESN Council, since 2016. On 2018 the HNPS collaborated with the Association of Greek Psychologists and elected a representative in the Standing Committee of Clinical Neuropsychology of the European Federation of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA).
The HNPS participates in Forums and in Conferences and holds collaborations and affiliations with important national and international institutions, academic stakeholders and other scientific societies and societies for patients. As a result of the society’s creative and productive extroversion, the HNPS co-organizes the 8th Scientific Meeting of the FESN, together with the 2nd Panhellenic Conference in Neuropsychology.
