LIAS FELLOW
(2018)
The first ministerial WHO conference on global action against dementia in 2015 stated, "We need to invest more in research to develop a drug, but also to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and the support of their caregivers."
The intention is to gather scientific insights about major societal challenges in LIAS on the basis of international and interdisciplinary consultation.
