A.P.A.E. ACTIVITIES

As pioneers in Portugal, the A.P.A.E. has actively promoted the introduction of efficient, genuine and safe Acupuncture ever since its establishment in 1978 with the coming of Mitsuharu Tsuchiya to Portugal.

The association benefited from its exclusive partnerships and alliances with some local Medical Groups and influential institutions from Japan (such as Meiji University of Oriental Medicine, Tsukuba Technology of Acupuncture University and Kansai College of Oriental Medicine).

This allowed the A.P.A.E. to offer an innovative perspective into Oriental Medicine and build on its academic understanding. Most recently, the APAE has given a breakthrough step by signing a protocol with Meiji University of Oriental Medicine (Japan).


Its activities include:
  • Theoretical and practical Acupuncture lessons to MDs
  • Organisation of national symposiums of Acupuncture and congresses
  • Setting the research agenda for A.P.A.E. members and affiliated research groups
  • Publication of symposium summaries and research compilations
  • Exchanging academic and practical knowledge with international counterparts
  • Actively promoting W.F.A.S. objectives in Portugal.


The next steps for the A.P.A.E. is to extend its experience and philosophy throughout Portugal and the rest of Europe, strengthening ties with its Chinese and Japanese counterparts.
