Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona will bring together the leading experts on dementia in a series of online conferences

The program includes a series of three conferences focused on a current aspect in relation to Alzheimer's disease research and other dementias with the aim of generating participation and synergies between the panellists and those attending the webinars.

Mercè Boada, medical director of Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona, explains that “Global Research Summit was born from the need to continue in constant learning even in the time of COVID-19. On many occasions, the pandemic has put a physical barrier between researchers, but thanks to new technologies knowledge can travel and continued of being transmitted to advance in the knowledge about the origin and development of dementias”.

For Agustín Ruiz, research director of Ace Alzheimer Center Barcelona, “Global Research Summit obeys the restless and innovative spirit of our centre. We have designed these three conferences with the aim of enriching professionals in the field of dementia with the latest research developments, and we will do so in a rigorous and participatory way so that it is as useful and understandable as possible for all our attendees”.
