This paper presents the structure of a space of inter-regional research institutions and lines of force that govern its operation. Care facilities in the Nord–Pas-de-Calais geographical region are federated into a public interest group bringing together all 33 schools in the region with an activity in mental health. Three lines of force were used: involving different disciplines and skills involved in mental health; developping, as a matter of priority, epidemiological and clinical research; promoting the sharing of practices, and enhancement of the work and achievements.
