They have also been involved in funding applications. Ten youth Co-Researchers have been involved over the last year.
The InvolveMENT project seeks to enhance mental health support for youth with national minority, indigenous and refugee backgrounds, by tailoring public eHealth services to their specific needs.
SHARE is a multidisciplinary Centre with over 70 researchers affiliated including nurses, medical doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, lawyers, sociologist, engineers, radiographers, and safety scientists.
In 2023, the SHARE centre expanded its collaborations, secured significant EU funding, and enhanced international mobility, and strategic efforts to position the Centre in the forefront of the international research.
An important part of becoming an internationally recognized research centre is to disseminate scientific knowledge and results using a broad spectrum of appropriate arenas. It is equally important to disseminate research results to the general population, patients, healthcare professionals, research communities, students, leaders, and governmental bodies.
SHARE researchers strive to be present at a range of forums and to disseminate our research in a variety of forms to reach as many, and as a diverse body as possible. Throughout the year of 2023 SHARE researchers have therefore contributed to dissemination activities such as interviews, opinion papers, lectures, seminars and stand-up comedy contributions in addition to national and international conference attendances and peer review articles.
