Alzheimer Europe contributes to a number of European research projects on dementia, funded through Horizon 2020, the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI), the EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) and other programmes. In these projects, Alzheimer Europe provides the views of people with dementia, their carers, and those of national Alzheimer's associations; contributes to the discussion of ethical issues in research; and supports the communication of project activities to the wider dementia community and the general public.
In this section, you can find information about these research projects and our contributions to their work.
