On 28th October, IMPROVA joined six EU-funded sister projects for the eighth Mental Health Dialogues webinar, “Translating Networked Science into Evidence-Based Mental Health.” The session explored how collaboration across research disciplines, institutions, and countries can turn scientific evidence into practical support for mental health. The discussion brought together the IMPROVA project and its sister project network: ASPbelong, Reconnected, ADVANCE, SMILE, MentBest, and Bootstrap.
The webinar focused on how “networked science”—collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and countries—can strengthen the evidence base for mental-health research and practice. It examined how shared learning, interdisciplinary expertise, and coordinated research can help move promising findings into interventions that genuinely benefit communities.The session reinforced the value of combining research on adolescent mental health with input from schools, families, health professionals, and young people themselves. IMPROVA’s eHealth platform is designed to promote mental well-being and support early detection of mental-health concerns in secondary schools across Europe.
