Research

Our goal


Our researchers carry out studies that contribute to the evidence base of mindfulness-based interventions. We follow a systematic research approach sanctioned by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in relation to development, piloting, effect and implementation evaluation. 

We have access to state-of-the-art research facilities through Aarhus University and the University Hospital, as well as through our international research partners. Our research is funded in part by the Danish Ministry of Research, Innovation and Higher Education as well as the private Danish organization TrygFonden and more.
