Since May 2023, partners of the JPND-funded Multi-MeMo project have been working together, looking at multimodal interventions for the prevention of dementia. Multi-MeMo stands for “Shorter and longer-term mechanisms of multimodal interventions to prevent dementia” and is coordinated by Associate Professor Alina Solomon from University of Eastern Finland (UEF). On 5 May, the consortium members gathered for their first General Assembly meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. Held as a hybrid event, with both in-person and online participation, the meeting was attended by representatives from all the institutions and organisations that make up the consortium, including Alzheimer Europe.
Alina Solomon, in her opening remarks, set the stage for a day of fruitful exchanges and collaboration, emphasising the importance of collective efforts in advancing research and innovation in the field of dementia prevention. During the meeting, partners presented the major developments and discussed future activities. AE Project Officer Cindy Birck, Public Involvement Officer Sarah Campill and Public Involvement Lead Ana Diaz attended the meeting. Following the General Assembly Meeting, some project members attended the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders and presented their respective work. The Multi-MeMo project is supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (INTER/JPND22/17107181/Multi-MeMo) under the aegis of the EU Joint Programme - Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND).
