The EA4HP has a well-connected network of European and global affiliated societies with goals similar to the EA4HP. Together, these societies form a global network with a shared aim to increase and disseminate knowledge on haematopathology.



Society for Hematopathology (SH)

The Society for Hematopathology (SH) was founded in September 1981 as a Companion Society of what was then the United States and Canadian Division of the International Academy of Pathology (IAP), subsequently incorporated in 1986 as the United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP).   Co-founded by Costan W. Berard and Ronald F. Dorfman, Berard was the first President, serving from 1982 to 1984.

The success of the Society of Hematopathology led European colleagues to expand the activities of the “European Lymphoma Club” and form the European Association for Haematopathology (EAHP).




European Society of Pathology (ESP)

The European Society of Pathology is the leading force in European pathology. The primary aim of ESP is to promote:

  • High quality diagnostic prac­tice
  • Applied and translational research
  • Under- and postgraduate education in the field of human pathology.

This is achieved through our congresses, our journal Virchows Archiv, and our European School of Pathology, which or­ganises a variety of postgraduate courses and quality assurance projects in diagnostic molecular pathology. The ESP also interacts with national pathology societies in Europe and has developed close collaboration with UEMS and EAPCP .
