Welcome to the first

Nordic MeMory cliNic coNfereNce

From research to clinic and from clinic to research

The Nordic Network in Dementia Diagnostics (NIDD), established in 2009 as a network that wants to facilitate collaborative research concerning diagnostic tools and procedures. NIDD will together with Norwegian National Advisory Unit on Aging and Health host a clinical and research conference in September 25 and 26, 2017. The focus will be on clinical practice in Nordic memory clinics and on diagnostic tools, prevention and treatment of dementia.

The venue of the conference is Oslo (Oslo Congress center). This will be a first time event for valuable interaction between researchers and clinicians. During the conference, there will be lectures, symposia and work-shops where diagnostic tools in dementia will be presented and discussed. There will be a poster session on September 26.Abstracts limited to maximum 250 words should be submitted within May 20 to knut.engedal@aldringoghelse.no

We would like to invite researchers and clinicians from all Nordic countries, as well as participants outside the Nordic region.
