European Federation for Primatology European Federation for Primatology The European Federation for Primatology (EFP) was founded on December 17, 1993. The seat of the Federation is Niederhausbergen (France). The EFP brings together national primatological societies, as well as groups of primatologists in those countries of Europe where such societies are not yet founded. The EFP members, who belong to societies or groups affiliated to the Federation, are involved in fundamental research, applied biomedical research and zoo management. This accounts for more than 1100 scientists, graduate students and zoo managers. More than 30 academic institutions are represented in the EFP through their membership. The colonies
