Collaboration in Alzheimer’s disease & beyond: the present and the future of IMI initiatives in neurodegeneration

 

On 15 March 2017, IMI hosted an event on collaboration in Alzheimer’s disease, bringing together all IMI projects involved in this area and other key organisations and initiatives, with the goal of discussing existing collaboration and exploring future opportunities to work together to advance Alzheimer’s research.

This event provided a comprehensive picture of the IMI Alzheimer’s portfolio, and brought all strategic partners around the table to lay the foundations for future collaboration strategies.

This gathering was a unique opportunity for all IMI projects in the Alzheimer’s field to learn about other projects’ activities and complementarities, share their plans and results with the IMI SGG NeurodegenerationEFPIA, the European Commission, the IMI Scientific Committee and key stakeholders and partners in the Alzheimer’s field.

lecture on Alzheimer’s disease was organised aiming at all event participants, IMI Programme Office staff and IMI partners.
