The ProPEDeAMCI project, titled "Promoting the Effects of Physical Exercise (PE) on Cognitive, Behavioral, Physical, and Functional Symptoms of People Diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), or other Dementias," represents an innovative European initiative under the Erasmus+ Sports Program’s Cooperation Partnerships Action. The project kickstarted with an online meeting of partners from nine European Union countries (Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Nether-lands, Slovenia, and Czechia) and is coordinated by Alz-heimer Hellas demonstrating a commitment to addressing one of Europe's most pressing health challenges. As an ultimate objective, the ProPEDeAMCI project aims to secure that people with MCI, AD, and other Dementias will experience the maintenance of the highest possible level of cognitive, behavioural, and physical functioning and improved quality of life. Beyond the immediate im-pact, ProPEDeAMCI will provide research-backed policy recommendations to European health and sports authori-ties, contributing to the long-term integration of structured physical exercise programs into dementia care policies. Through the combination of evidence-based guidelines, professional training, and accessible online resources, the project seeks to create a sustainable impact in the field of dementia care and rehabilitation, fundamentally transform-ing how health professionals approach cognitive and physi-cal health maintenance in individuals suffering from cogni-tive decline.
