JPND is the largest global ND research initiative led by countries, with 28 participatingEU member statesAssociated countries Third countries

Increasing coordination of national research programmes to improve impact and effectiveness

The JPND goals

To tackle the challenge of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, the goals of the JPND Research Strategy are:

• To develop new treatments and preventive strategies

• To improve health and social care approaches

• To raise awareness and de-stigmatise neurodegenerative disorders

• To alleviate the economic and social burden of these diseases

Neurodegenerative Diseases?

• The neurodegenerative diseases that JPND focuses on are:

• Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias• Parkinson’s disease (PD) and PD-related disorders• Prion disease• Motor neurone diseases (MND)• Huntington’s Disease (HD)• Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)• Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)
