On 27 and 28 November 2019, leading researchers and stakeholders from 51 JPND supported projects on neurodegenerative disease research gathered at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts, in Brussels, for the JPND1 /JPco-fuND2 Symposium. The aim of the meeting was to disseminate up-to-date research achievements from the projects, to liaise, exchange knowledge and network. JPND Chair, Professor Philippe Amouyel opened the conference. Project topics presented ranged from Alzheimer’s to Parkinson’s diseases to rarer diseases such as Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Prion disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Spinocerebellar Ataxia.
