Neurodegenerative Disease Committee
Explore our initiatives to lower the burden of neurodegenerative diseases in Europe and beyond.
What we want to achieve
We are dedicated to advancing the understanding, treatment, and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases through collaborative research and innovation. By bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, and advocates, we work to accelerate scientific breakthroughs and translate discoveries into meaningful treatments that can improve outcomes for patients and families affected by these conditions.
We envision a future where neurodegenerative diseases are effectively managed and ultimately prevented—where patients and families worldwide benefit from cutting-edge therapies, improved diagnostic tools, and comprehensive care approaches. Together, we are committed to driving progress in neurological research and ensuring that scientific advances lead to real-world improvements in the lives of those facing these challenging conditions.
