Hinweis der Redaktion
The challenge of addressing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s is a truly global one. Most neurodegenerative diseases (ND) are incurable and are strongly linked with age. Dementias alone affect more than 7 million people in Europe and their care is estimated to cost €130 billion a year. This heavy burden on the individuals with disease, their relatives, and society as a whole is a problem that will only get worse as the European population inexorably ages, and the number of people working in care continues to decrease. Close to 85% of public research funds in the EU are spent independently by Member States
This will be achieved by coordinating current and future approachescollaborating where appropriate sharing tools, techniques and other resources more efficiently among participating countries

JPND-supported projects and activities are encouraged to take part in various activities to bring JPND-supported research to the attention of as many relevant people as possible, including dissemination, communication and exploitation. ‘Dissemination andCommunication’ are more than just an additional reporting burden. Communicating about JPND research which involves several JPND member countries aims to demonstrate the ways in which JPND research is contributing to future economic growth and jobs on a national and European level, and should also account for public spending by providing tangible proof that collaborative research adds value by:showing how international collaboration has achieved more than would have otherwise been possible, notably in achieving scientific excellence, contributing to competitiveness and tackling the challenge of neurodegenerative diseases.showing how the research outcomes are relevant to the public’s everyday lives, by (for example) creating jobs, making patient and carers’ lives more comfortable, alleviating economic + social burden.making better use of the results, by making sure they are taken up by decision-makers to influence policy-making and by industry and the scientific community to ensure follow-up. Strategically-planned communication with these objectives in mind is significantly different to ad hoc efforts for the sake of meeting contractual requirements.
