Research Projects

This database contains information on EU funded dementia research projects, undertaken since 2007. It is the product of a mapping exercise of European funding programmes for dementia research conducted by Alzheimer Europe in 2020. This database is not an exhaustive resource of information. It contains information about dementia research projects that are funded by European programmes including FP7, H2020, IMI, JPND, AAL and the third EU Health programme. The mapping exercise and database were expanded in 2025, to include projects funded under Horizon Europe (including IHI). For these projects, the database reports the maximum contribution from the European Commission rather than the total project budget, so funding figures may not be directly comparable across all entries.

Towards an Integrative Model of the Relationship Between Episodic Memory and Novelty Detection Through a Behavioural and Neuropsychological Approach

DENOVO

"As memorizing new information relies on distinguishing the new from the familiar, novelty detection is closely tied to memory. Yet, the exact nature of this link remains unclearare they two sides of the same function or rather distinct yet interacting processes? Critically, there are different types of novelty: absolute (new stimulus) or...

Training Network on Automatic Processing of PAthological Speech

TAPAS

There are an increasing number of people across Europe with debilitating speech pathologies (e.g., due to stroke, Parkinson's, etc). These groups face communication problems that can lead to social exclusion. They are now being further marginalised by a new wave of speech technology that is increasingly woven into everyday life but which is not...

TRanslating Individual Alzheimer GEnetic risk into disease phenotypes

TRIAGE

Socio-economic needs for advances in the treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are more pressing than ever. Lessons learned from clinical trial failures have led to important conceptual advances. The field notably shifted away from a purely neurocentric view, largely since Genome-Wide Association Studies identified several risk genes that are...

Translational Research Network in Motor Disorder Rehabilitation: Advancing understanding of variability in motor control and learning, to enhance clinical practice

TReND

The theoretical understanding of human motor control and learning has a strong impact on the diagnosis and treatment of motor disorders, and vice versa. Recent progress has been made in the understanding of motor control and learning, particularly with respect to understanding the functional role of neuro-behavioural variability that is inherent to...

Twinning for Excellence in Research, Training and Innovation in Protein Misfolding Diseases

Twin4Promis

Protein misfolding diseases (PMDs) are a large group of human disorders caused by protein misfolding and include serious conditions with high socio-economic impact, such as Alzheimer’s disease, systemic amyloidosis, obesity, cystic fibrosis, retinitis pigmentosa and type 2 diabetes. The vast majority of them remain incurable so there is currently a...

Unraveling the impact of pathological Tau phosphorylations on the early Tau interactome in Alzheimer's disease

Tau-Stick2Me

The Tau protein during Alzheimer's disease (AD) becomes hyperphosphorylated, misfolds, and aggregates into neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Despite knowing the involvement of Tau in AD, the exact mechanism that drives Tau-mediated toxicity is largely unclear. Studying the Tau interactome is an excellent way to decipher the mechanism of Tau toxicity...

Virtual and memory adaptable spaces creating stimuli for the senses in ageing people with dementia

SENSE-GARDEN

There are 47 million people living with dementia worldwide and expected to increase to 131 million by 2050. A person with dementia experiences loss of function, especially memory, eventually affecting verbal communication and ultimately creating disconnection from the close ones such as family and friends. The SENSE-GARDEN project will create rooms...

 PersOnalized SimulaTion Helping Caregivers to Cope with AlzheimeR Disease 

POSTHCARD

Daily care of Alzheimer patient is a daunting task for formal and informal caregivers that are at risk of exhaustion. The constant evolution of the illness requires to adapt constantly his strategy do deal with the changing behaviour. Although educational material exist, none is fully adapted to the specificity of each situation. With the POSTHCARD...
