AB  - The European Commission is an increasingly important source of funding for 
      international research projects and is due to announce its Framework 5 program 
      early in 1999. The Outcomes of Depression International Network (ODIN), funded 
      from the current EC Biomed 2 program, is a case study in European academic 
      co-operation. Its organization has three key elements. First, engaging the 
      principal investigators: this has involved identifying potential partners, 
      ensuring reciprocity of interests, effective co-ordination, 'dividing the spoils' 
      in advance, and setting up good personal and electronic communication systems. 
      Second, an esprit de corps has been created amongst the researchers, maintaining 
      contact and consistency, and promoting higher degrees. Third, ongoing problems 
      including difficulties in negotiations with the EC, divergence of detailed study 
      methods, and isolation and demoralization amongst researchers, have been 
      addressed. ODIN may provide a useful model for researchers wishing to set up 
      international collaborative groups.
