The enlargement of the European Union (EU) creates new inspiration and challenges for the Section and Board of Psychiatry of the Union of European Medical Specialists (UEMS). The Section and Board, which have an active history dating back to the early 1990s, aim to promote and harmonise psychiatry throughout Europe, mainly by working to produce standards for training, including conditions for training and continuous professional development (CPD). However, European society is complex and in transition. The move towards a more unified European professional identity first requires the identification and acknowledgement of differences.
