which aim to elucidate the relationships between psychosocial factors
and health. The research takes place mainly in Bulgaria, and is
often part of international comparative studies, in cooperation with
other research and professional organizations in the field of health
psychology. The Research Center also organizes
seminars and lectures in the field.

as well as in seminars for early career health psychologists (CREATE: www.ehps.net/create)
