On 14 January, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE Party) organised a stakeholder event in Brussels to discuss the future of clinical trials in Europe. The roundtable debate, titled "Overcoming Barriers to Clinical Trials in Europe: Addressing Regulatory, Operational and Patient Access Challenges" was chaired by MEP Stine Bosse. The event brought together key stakeholders to address the regulatory, operational and patient access challenges impacting the Europe's clinical trials ecosystem. Alzheimer Europe was represented by Director for Research Angela Bradshaw and Project Officer Cindy Birck, who shared insights into the challenges faced by people with dementia. They also discussed the recent supplement published by Alzheimer Europe, which highlights the barriers to participation and ongoing efforts to improve access and availability of dementia trials in Europe. The ALDE Party, which represents 74 member parties across 40 European countries, shares liberal and democratic values, inspiring efforts to work for a more open, fair and progressive Europe.
