On 21 October, the Pattern-Cog project hosted its yearly General Assembly meeting, bringing together representatives from six partner organisations to discuss progress and updates on the collaborative initiative. 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. The meeting commenced with a warm welcome from Jussi Tohka, the Coordinator of the Pattern-Cog project. Each leading partner presented updates on their respective work packages, highlighting key activities, progress and future work. Alzheimer Europe (AE) is actively involved in several work packages of the Pattern-Cog project, focusing on communication and dissemination as well as Public Involvement. The meeting was attended by AE Project Officer Cindy Birck and Public Involvement Officer Soraya Moradi-Bachiller. During the meeting, Cindy presented the recent and ongoing communication work, while Soraya provided insights into recent discussions with the Pattern-Cog Advisory Board, which is composed of members of the European Dementia Carers Working Group.As the meeting concluded, Jussi expressed gratitude to all attendees for their active engagement and fruitful discussions.
