ABOUT US

Lisboa

The International Congress on Neurodegenerative Diseases 2025 will be held in Elche, Alicante from September 15 to 17, as part of the initiatives to commemorate World Alzheimer's Day, under the presidency of H.M. Queen Sofía.

Organized since 2013 by the Reina Sofía Foundation and the CIEN (Center for Research on Neurological Diseases), this year it also benefits from the collaboration of the Spanish Society of Neurology (SEN). The Congress aims to disseminate advances in research on Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, promoting scientific dialogue and raising awareness of their social impact.

The program will feature eight high-level scientific sessions, with the participation of over thirty international experts, including Álvaro Pascual-Leone (Harvard Medical School, USA), Bart de Strooper (VIB-KU Leuven, Belgium), Jorge Sepulcre (Yale School of Medicine, USA), Simon Mead (National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, UK), and Raquel Sánchez-Valle (Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Spain).

Additionally, the Congress will include the special session The Patient's Perspective, organized in collaboration with patient and family associations, providing a space to give a voice to those who experience these diseases firsthand and highlighting the importance of social and healthcare support.

A must-attend event for the neurodegeneration research community. See you in Elche! #ICND2025
