AE
Alzheimer Europe is the umbrella organisation of 41 national Alzheimer's associations from 36 European countries. Their mission is to change perceptions, policy and practice in order to improve the lives of people affected by dementia. As a non-profit non-governmental organisation (NGO), AE amplifies the voices of people with dementia and their carers, making dementia a European priority, changing perceptions and combating stigma. AE contributes significantly to raising awareness, promoting brain health and prevention, strengthening the European dementia movement through its communication channels (website, monthly e-mail newsletter reaching over 8,000 contacts, and Annual Conferences attended by over 1,000 participants in 2023). AE has active participation in several IMI, IHI, HORIZON 2020, HORIZON Europe, and JPND projects. Within the DORIAN GRAY consortium, Alzheimer Europe leads the Public Involvement activities and contributes to the communication and stakeholder engagement activities in the project.
