The partners of the European Research Platform EURECO (including DSiN) would like to invite you to participate in an online event about the importance of peer expertise in mental health services design. Title: "New Horizons in Mental Health Care: Strengthening mental health services by peer-expertise and
digitalization".

In inclusive research, knowledge is developed and shared by people with and without experiential expertise. But involving peer experts as participants in research projects, policy and implementation still doesn’t come naturally. Why is peer expertise so important? And how can peer expertise be implemented in services? During our online event, we will exchange ideas on these and other topics. In addition, several international speakers will talk about the importance of peer expertise in mental health services design, implementation and evaluation and how it could be put in practice.

What is EURECO?

EURECO is a European collaboration platform of academic researchers and service providers working on inclusive community planning and development in the perspective of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The platform is based on a joint initiative of the European Association of Services Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD), the Centre for Planning and Evaluation of Social Services (ZPE), University of Siegen (Germany) the International Association for the Scientific Study of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IASSIDD) and the Dutch health research organization ZonMw. EURECO-meetings will serve as an instrument to enhance cooperation along the project-cycle of European research activities starting from the identification of research needs and research processes up to the implementation of results into practice.

DSiN is one of the partners in EURECO.
