At Alzheimer Europe’s 29 Annual Conference (#29AEC), the Alzheimer Europe Foundation awarded a prize to the top four poster presentations, as voted by conference participants via an online survey. For each full day of the conference (24 and 25 October), a runner-up and a winner were selected. Winners will receive EUR 750 and runners-up get EUR 250.
The two winners and two runners up were:
-
24 October runner-up: Gillian Council for “The Tipi Project: connecting people to nature”
-
24 October winner: Thea Debono for “The Effects of Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) on the behaviour of older persons living with dementia within a Maltese Long Term Care (LTC) facility”
-
25 October runner-up: Marjolein Scholten for “Green Care Farms, a new old housing concept?”
-
25 October winner: Monika Wilhelmi for “Hands-on Dementia. The interactive way to understand dementia. A method to feel the symptoms of dementia”.
Congratulations to all four of them!
The Alzheimer Europe Foundation would like to thank all conference delegates who voted and all poster presenters for their excellent contributions at the conference.
