From its foundation (1985), UCLM has grown at a high rate, attracting qualified human resources and providing the people in the region with high education skills. UCLM integrates 36 academic departments offering 45 degrees qualifications. UCLM has two peculiar features:: a) it is multi-disciplineary, undertaking work in practically all branches of knowledge; and b) its activities are very wide-ranging, embracing the spectrum from basic research to technological development. Moreover, promoting collaborations between industry and academia and favouring the dissemination of technological advances are part of our University's missions, demonstrating the strong commitment that UCLM has with the productive sectors of the region. The Knowledge and Technology Transfer Office is the structure within the University that strongly collaborates in this task.

UCLM will lead WP7. The role would be focussed on designing and implementing the economical models that allow to evaluate the impact of the disease on several components of the total costs associated with the target population, and to estimate the benefits stemmed from its prevention. More precisely, this model will assess the incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) and the incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) of the CAREPARTH approach in the target population in comparison with usual care.
