I want to help defeat this disease
We talk about Alzheimer's and its impact on those affected and their families.
We believe that only through research will we achieve a future without Alzheimer's.
We work towards changing the social perception of the disease through dissemination and public advocacy.
We put Alzheimer's on the political agenda.
Help us continue investigating.
We carry out institutional activities and political advocacy actions aimed at political representatives, governments and public institutions so that they recognise the social, economic and health impact of Alzheimer's disease and develop public policies to slow its progress and promote research. We also promote joint actions and collaborate with other actors and organisations in the sector.
