The European Federation of Psychology Students’ Associations Junior Researcher Programme: A review from two research project supervisors

Abstract

The European Federation of Psychology Students’ Associations (EFPSA) Junior Researcher Programme (JRP) provides opportunities for students to gain experience of conducting or supervising international research projects. Two UK PhD students reflect on their experiences as supervisors on the current (2019–2020) programme, with a particular focus on the European Summer School, a week of social and research activities that initiates the programme. Summaries of their research projects are provided, as well as reflections on the benefits and challenges of taking part in the programme. This review is intended to serve as a useful resource for potential JRP applicants.
