According to WHO regulations the designation lasts for four years and may be continued, with periodic reviews by WHO of the scientific performance of the Centre. Each WHO Collaborating Centre applies for designation submitting to WHO a plan with the specific actions to be carried out in the 4-year period. WHO reviews each application, giving positive or negative feed back on redesignation. At the end of the 4-year period, each WHO Collaborating Centre has to send a detailed report with the outcome of the planned research activities.
The designation was confirmed in 1992. In September 1996 the Centre was re-designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Mental Health and Service Evaluation and since then this designation was further confirmed in 2001, 2005, 2009 and 2013.
