INTERDEM is a network of researchers interested in psychosocial interventions. It is made up of 217 researchers and academics with different professional disciplines, spread across 23 countries (19 of which are in Europe). The INTERDEM network held its fully booked Annual Meeting on 23 October 2019, prior to the 29 Alzheimer Europe Conference (#29AEC), with 110 researchers attending.
There were two sessions, the first of which was reserved for participants to share news of their ongoing research activities, and gave them the opportunity to give and receive feedback, as well as exploring opportunities for further collaboration.
The second session, focused on “New insights in caregiving and community”. Speakers from Germany and The Netherlands addressed caregiving challenges, social health and the role of the community.
During the meeting the 20 anniversary of the INTERDEM network was celebrated with the participation of Jean Georges, Executive Director of Alzheimer Europe, which is a key partner of INTERDEM. Ana Diaz, Project Officer, also attended the INTERDEM Annual Meeting on behalf of Alzheimer Europe.
