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.

The locus coeruleus: at the crossroad of dementia syndromes

HEROES

Noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus (LC) mediate attention, memory, and arousal. Based on previous data, we suggest that LC degeneration is a new common mechanism in the early onset and/or progression of neurodegeneration and dementia in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Down syndrome (DS) and Parkinson's disease (PD). The goal of our project is...

THE PRPC / PDK1 / TACE SIGNALING AXIS AT THE CROSS-ROAD OF SEVERAL AGGREGATE-PRONE PROTEIN-ASSOCIATED NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

PrPC&PDK1

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Prion, Parkinson's diseases, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Spino- cerebellar Ataxia and Fronto-temporal Dementia make up a group of pathologies with distinct etiologies and pathophysiological features characterized by the accumulation in the nervous system of abnormal proteins that are toxic for...

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...
