On 19 October, partners working on the Pattern-Cog project met during a General Assembly meeting, held online and in-person in Helsinki, Finland. Funded by ERA Per-Med, the overarching goal of this project is to improve dementia prevention strategies by developing support tools for the detection of earliest signs of impeding cognitive decline which would allow early and personalised multidomain interventions. During the meeting, partners highlighted key project developments and achievements. The meeting's agenda included multidisciplinary presentations from the different work packages (WPs) leaders.
Alzheimer Europe was represented by Project Officers Cindy Birck and Soraya Moradi-Bachiller. Cindy provided an update on the done for the dissemination and communication tasks, including the project’s brand identity, website and communication channels. Soraya presented the work already done with the Pattern-Cog Advisory Board, composed of members of the European Dementia Carers Working Group. The agenda also featured discussions on collaborations and dissemination plans. The meeting was attended by representatives of the six Institutions participating in Pattern-Cog and was chaired by Jussi Tohka, project leader, who thanked all attendees for their participation, valuable input, and continued efforts on behalf of the project.
This project was supported by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (INTER/PerMed21/15748787/Pattern-Cog), under the frame of ERA PerMed.
