Project description DEENESFRITPL Dementia: Intersectorial strategy for an effective research training and innovation network Alzheimer’s disease is a plague for ageing societies. There is no effective cure or treatment for symptoms of dementia or its early detection. A new, multidisciplinary approach is needed. The EU-funded DISTINCT project will focus on research on new technology solutions by creating a wide partnership of world leading research institutions and organisations from different sectors and fields. They will work closely with INTERDEM, a group of 180 outstanding academics and researchers from European countries. The results of the project will pave the way for developing an effective approach for early detection of dementia and new strategies to support patients and their caregivers.
