• Likewise, in 2013 a large number of European/international coordinating ac-

tivities were promoted by CIBERSAM investigators belonging to the ROAMER
consortium.

Some of the more outstanding activities include:

- The first meeting of the Board of Funding and Governmental Institutions
for Research to discuss the needs to conduct research on mental health

and well-being in Europe and to explore the possibility of establishing
strict collaboration between EU Member States for coordinating national

and international mental health research programmes. The meeting was

held in Brussels (Belgium) on June 20, 2013.

- Second round of scientific workshops with groups of European ex-
perts. These meetings took place all over Europe for the purpose of

re-analyzing the knowledge gaps and defining the necessary advance-

ments and a list of priorities for research in the different mental health
areas.

- Second round of meetings with the advisory project councils and stee-

ring council to review the knowledge gaps and the list of necessary

advancements for research on mental health and well-being in Europe.
The meeting took place in Barcelona on November 25, 26 and 27, 2013.

Finally, as a result of these meetings, different CIBERSAM investigators have es-

tablished contacts with different European and international centres for the prepa-

ration of project proposals in the new “Horizon 2020” framework programme that
will commence in 2014.
