SUMMARY:Lausanne XI: Where Leaders Converge to End Alzheimer's Disease
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Lausanne Workshop is the eleventh in a series of Lausanne-based annual Alzheimer’s convenings with a goal to stop Alzheimer’s. Over the past ten years\, Lausanne has become a highly curated platform for global Alzheimer’s stakeholders to identify challenges\, set solution paths\, measure progress and hold each other accountable to act. \nThe Lausanne Workshop is organized under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and supported by The Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer’s Disease (CEOi)\, Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) and World Economic Forum (WEF). It launched in 2014 as a response to the challenge articulated at the UK G8 Dementia Summit to stop Alzheimer’s by 2025. This goal was reinforced at the First WHO Ministerial Conference on Global Action Against Dementia in 2015. \nEBC will be present at the event. Stephanie Kramer\, Deputy Executive Director will take part in a panel discussion under the title “Preventative Power: Promoting Brain Health to Address the Alzheimer’s Crisis”.

SUMMARY:Advancing Global Collaboration for Dementia and Healthy Aging
DESCRIPTION:Side Event at the 2024 G7 Health Ministerial Meeting: Advancing Global Collaboration for Dementia and Healthy Aging EBC is pleased to collaborate with the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC)\, who will be hosting event on the sidelines of the 2024 G7 Health Ministerial Meeting: Advancing Global Collaboration for Dementia and Healthy Aging. The event will take place on 8 October 2024 from 13:00-17:00 CET in Ancona\, Italy. \nAs the world’s population ages\, dementias including Alzheimer’s disease are among the most pressing global health challenges. The profound impacts of dementias are looming threats that will increasingly strain health systems\, societies\, and individuals. DAC recognizes and applauds the previous efforts and commitments made by governments of the G7 to address dementias. However\, the stark reality remains: the global community is not yet equipped to actualize and achieve these commitments. \nOn the sidelines of the G7 Health Ministerial meeting\, the premier stage for international collaboration on critical health issues\, the event aims to emphasize the continued need for global coordination and commitment to healthy aging\, brain health\, and addressing the global burden of dementias including Alzheimer’s disease. It will showcase the progress that is being made on all fronts in the fight to end Alzheimer’s\, including policy advances\, scientific innovations\, and improved care pathways. The event will convene high-level stakeholders – including government\, policy makers\, international organizations\, industry\, and civil society – around the objectives: \n\nReiterating the importance of a person-centric approach to developing new treatments and strengthening health systems in support of people living with dementias including Alzheimer’s Disease.\nHighlighting the progress countries have made since the 2023 G7 communiqué in Japan supported “policies and resources to care for people living with dementia\,” including on early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and on the development of new therapeutics.\nBuilding consensus on the urgent need for sustained global collaboration toward healthy aging and brain health\, including in addressing Alzheimer’s and dementia\, supporting the realization of national plans\, coordination\, and knowledge sharing at the global level.\n\nEBC looks forward to participating in this critical discussion: Frédéric Destrebecq\, EBC’s Executive Director\, will be speaking during the ‘Defining the Opportunities for Global Action’ panel alongside Chris Lynch (Alzheimer’s Disease International)\, Charlotte Refsum (Tony Blair Institute for Global Change)\, Wade Shen (Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health). The discussion will be moderated by George Vradenburg (Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative) and will take place at 16:10-16:50 CEST. Panelists will be sharing insights on how we can enable countries to build sustained global collaboration toward healthy ageing and brain health. \nThe Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative \nThe Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) is a pioneering worldwide initiative to cure Alzheimer’s disease and improve brain health\, seeking to mirror the success of global efforts against infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS\, Covid\, and Malaria. DAC is extending global research beyond its current focus on traditional Western European ethnic populations into the highly diversified populations of the Global South\, where the vast majority of those with Alzheimer’s live. By introducing lower-cost screening and diagnostic tools as well as new treatment and prevention modalities in primary care and community health settings\, DAC is driving implementation of health system solutions that are appropriate for worldwide application. DAC also promotes the vital importance of brain health throughout the lifespan by addressing cardiometabolic and lifestyle factors\, especially in early and mid-life. Absent effective action at scale around the world\, by 2050\, more than 150 million families and half a billion people will be personally impacted by dementia\, creating a social\, financial\, economic\, and global security disaster of historic proportions. DAC was launched in Davos in 2021 by the World Economic Forum and the Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer’s Disease. \nREGISTRATIONDiscover the programmePlease note that requesting registration does not guarantee admission to the event.
