On 28 April, the JPND/JPco-fuND2 Midterm Symposium took place in Brussels. During the event, representatives of projects funded by the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) over the last few years were able to present their work and achievements. Among others, two of the projects in which Alzheimer Europe is participating, EU-FINGERS and ADAIR took part in the event. In all sessions, a Public Involvement (PI) representative was present and was invited to provide feedback or ask questions from the perspective of members of the public/ people affected by the disease. Kevin Quaid (Chair of the Irish Dementia Working Group and Vice-Chair of the European Working Group of People with Dementia), Carmel Geoghegan (supporter of a member of the EWGPWD and PI advocate for the voices of patients and the wider community) and Ana Diaz (Project Officer at Alzheimer Europe) participated as panel members in several of the sessions. The ADAIR and EU-FINGERS project provided presentations and a poster, which were very well received.
