The European Proteomics Association (EuPA) was founded in 2005 and is a federation of 23 European national proteomics societies. It has been established to coordinate and integrate national initiatives within the proteomics field. The main objectives are to strengthen and promote fundamental research and applications, as well as education and training in all areas of proteomics throughout Europe.

Education
EuPA is organizing European-wide workshops and courses to promote and enhance the quality of proteomics knowledge through the life sciences community, the general public, and governmental bodies.
EuPA supports the organization and sponsors every year a Winter school on bioinformatics, a Summer school on proteomics basics, and one specialized course:
Events
EuPA supports scientific events related to the dissemination of the proteomics knowledge. For more information on the current events, please visit our Events page
YPIC – Young Proteomics Investigator Club
YPIC is a community of young scientists in proteomics that tries to support other young scientists with their day-to-day, mostly non-scientific struggles. We organize webinars with subjects like grant writing, collaborative science, transition to industry, mentoring, etc. In addition, we also organize specific activities at some European conferences, such as meet-the-expert sessions and social events. Do not hesitate to get in touch and join us!
EuPA Awards
EuPA recognizes with EuPA Awards the achievements and commitment of researchers with a high emphasis on young talents working in the field of proteomics.
New! The 2023 EuPA Awards Campaign is now LIVE. For more information, click here.
EuPA Juan-Pablo Albar (JPA) Proteome Pioneer Award
EuPA intends to honor a person with a leading and long-standing involvement in the promotion of the principles of sharing and integration of resources for the development of excellent research in the Proteomics field. The recipient of the JPA has to have a longstanding contribution to EuPA, and thus integral to the success of its mission. In addition, this is a scientist or technologist who has demonstrated a deep interest in sharing resources and has achieved significant contributions to the EuPA organization.
