Welcome

The European Research Academy on Alzheimer’s Disease aims to provide an overview of the latest developments in the Alzheimer's Disease research field. The event is especially targeted at ambitious early career dementia scientists. Over the course of 4 days the participants will hear a collection of talks by prominent Alzheimer's Disease scientists, combined with daily professional development sessions. In these sessions, the speakers, committee members, and staff will train the participants in skills such as successful grant writing, finding their research niche, and academic mentorship. We will end with a big scientific discussion together with the keynote speakers on the current state of Alzheimer's Disease research.

Please note that previous editions of the European Research Academy on Alzheimer’s Disease were organised under the name of the European Alzheimer Academy Workshop (EAAW).

The European Research Academy on Alzheimer’s Disease is organised by Alzheimer Forschung Initiative , Alzheimer Nederland , Fondation Vaincre Alzheimer , and the Synapsis Foundation , which are non-profit organisations from Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland respectively. These organisations collaborate in various ways to fund scientific and medical research on Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias.

One of these collaborations is the Common European Grant Cycle, through which Alzheimer Forschung Initiative, Alzheimer Nederland, and Fondation Vaincre Alzheimer have supported dementia research with more than 60 million Euros since 1994, thanks to their many generous donors. This network funds exceptional research, both nationally and in cross border projects. All four organisations are dedicated to helping early career dementia researchers reach their full scientific potential.
