Mission

The goal of the ROAMER consortium is to create a coordinated roadmap for the promotion and integration of research in mental health and well-being across Europe.

ROAMER’s main objectives are to:

Structure & Governance

The core of the project is formed by six scientific work packages (WPs) comprised of groups of scientific experts. These WPs will analyze the key areas of mental health research in Europe.

Each area of knowledge will be addressed consistently by following a common methodology that comprises several general steps, including the examination of the current state-of-the-art, identification of gaps, and prioritization of advances to address those gaps.

The general approach in each field will take advantage of several activities, such as survey consultations, systematic literature reviews, scientific workshops, and consecutive consensus meetings.

The outputs of each scientific WP will be integrated with a geographic, multidisciplinary, and life-course approach, revised by the Scientific Advisory Board, the Stakeholder Advisory Board, and the Government and Funding Institution Council, discussed in Policy Workshops and finally agreed by consensus and translated into Roadmaps. Other WPs are carrying on the essential tasks of project management, coordination of stakeholder involvement, dissemination and promotion of the results, and the final translation of the outputs into Roadmaps.
