Aims:

To present basic principles and requirements of a network consisting of research institutions and routine care facilities, which aims at the improvement of treatment and care in schizophrenia.

Methods:

The concept, structure and the management of such a network will be exemplified by the German Research Network On Schizophrenia, which is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).

Results:

The experiences so far make very clear, that it requires carefully tuned projects, an efficient and well-financed network management, acceptance and dissimination of the network idea within (and outside) the network as well as collateral political measures to improve the research environment to incorporate single research projects and single institutions, researchers or clinicians into a network.

Conclusions:

These general conditions fulfilled, network research is a clever strategy to bundle competence (horizontally and vertically) and to improve treatment and care of psychiatric patients.
