On Tuesday, April 8, the 10th Research Meeting and the first Expanded Meeting of the year of MIDAP were held in the Domingo Asún auditorium of the Faculty of Psychology at Diego Portales University, one of the host institutions of MIDAP. “This is a very important meeting, in a period of transition,” said the director of the institute, Alex Behn, at the beginning of the day. Later, the dean of the Faculty of Psychology, Antonio Stecher, stated that “all the host institutions are very expectant, hopeful, and also confident, given the quality of the work that MIDAP has done and its contribution to the country and society in terms of mental health, that this renewal can be realized.” Dean Stecher highlighted the collaborative work carried out by the Center for Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy Studies (CEPPS), led by principal investigator Claudio Martínez, and also involving MIDAP associate researcher and alternate director Alemka Tomicic, and young researchers Javiera Duarte and Stefanella Costa, which "has allowed the Faculty of Psychology to become involved in the development of MIDAP. This partnership has also been very important for the training program for the doctoral program in Psychology: many doctoral students have had the opportunity to participate and nurture their research processes through the MIDAP research ecosystem," he added. “Looking at the history of MIDAP, at its inception as an institute in 2015, it was a very different world: before the pandemic, the social outbreak, the revolution, technological and geopolitical changes on a global level, and there is a challenge in conceiving a scientific research institute on a subject that is, moreover, deeply linked to social and technological changes (...) It seems to me that there is value in MIDAP's ability to adapt and respond to new scenarios and challenges (...) I believe that the work MIDAP has done is extraordinary, worthy of admiration; and that they have made a substantive contribution to different fields of basic and applied science in mental health issues,” said the dean. Recognition of Juan Pablo Jiménez and Marcia Olhaberry This meeting was also an opportunity to celebrate the arrival of Alex Behn and Alemka Tomicic as director and alternate director, respectively, and of Alexies Dagnino, who officially joins MIDAP as principal investigator. Likewise, recognition was given to Juan Pablo Jiménez and Marcia Olhaberry, who served as director and alternate director since 2019 and 2020, respectively. Alex Behn dedicated a few words to Marcia Olhaberry, highlighting her humility, excellence, commitment, willingness to work, generosity, and concern for her teams. Regarding Juan Pablo Jiménez, she highlighted his "tremendous contribution": "He has been a constant, a driving force behind all the initiatives that, in a coordinated manner over time, have led to the existence of something like MIDAP. I'm thinking about my doctorate, the beginning of scientific research in psychotherapy in Chile, coordinating and working with Mariane Krause at the Núcleo (Milenio "Psychological Intervention and Change in Depression"), directing large projects that have been very important and ambitious, and eventually becoming the head of the Institute for five years, always imprinting a scientific vision with great wisdom, with strong leadership, and with a vision of what research should be like, which you have tirelessly defended." “This year I turn 80, and this is a gift for me. I want to join in thanking Marcia for these years leading MIDAP. I'd also like to mention Guillermo de la Parra and Mariane Krause. It wasn't in my plans to take over as director of MIDAP, but Mariane asked me to. I considered it, and ultimately, for me, it was a gift and the culmination of my academic and professional life, and of work that began in 1992, when we founded the SPR (the Latin American chapter) with Guillermo (de la Parra) and Claudio Martínez, who was an initial driving force and has continued to be a permanent driving force,” said Juan Pablo Jiménez, who also highlighted the work done with María Pía Santelices in directing the doctoral program (in Psychotherapy). “Guillermo and I thought about creating a sort of research ecosystem in psychotherapy that later expanded to mental health. I never thought it would happen the way it did. I'm very happy to leave,” he added. Subsequently, Director Alex Behn shared with the researchers the proposal currently under evaluation in the 2025 Millennium Institutes in Social Sciences competition. In the second part of the day, Deputy Director Alemka Tomicic led the discussion on the prospects for MIDAP's work in the face of this new phase. As part of MIDAP's first Expanded Meeting of the year, new Principal Investigator Alexies Dagnino presented "Deciphering Stress Resilience from MIDAP:
