    Joining forces in mental health research<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    TOUCH is a stepping stone towards the implementation of a long-term collaboration agreement in the framework of the Research Network in Mental Health<\/a>, one of the Communities Oriented to Strategic Challenges (CORE, by its acronym in Catalan) promoted by the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). The project will act as a key tool to articulate the necessary capacities from the UAB sphere to carry out successful research projects in complex and strategic areas through a collaborative, multidisciplinary and innovative approach.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
