Welcome Message
The ageing population is growing rapidly across the Nordic countries and beyond, leading to increased healthcare and socioeconomic challenges. Ageing is the primary risk factor for many diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying brain ageing and neurodegeneration remains limited. Norway and the UK have a long-standing tradition in scientific collaborations, especially in the neuroscience area. To address this critical knowledge gap, the Norway-UK Meetings on Ageing and Dementia will provide a dedicated space for researchers to discuss cutting-edge advancements in ageing and dementia, fostering collaboration across disciplines.
Held in Norway and the UK, the meeting series will bring together leaders in the fields to explore key topics, including molecular mechanisms of ageing, multi-omics approaches, artificial intelligence applications, neurodegeneration, and translational drug development. Speakers are leaders in these fields around the world! The meeting series will also strongly support young researchers by reserving space for short talks and a poster session, ensuring the next generation of scientists to play active roles in advancing the field. By facilitating interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations, we aim to drive innovation towards a future of healthy ageing and improved treatments for age-related diseases.
This 4th Norway-UK meeting on ageing and dementia will be focused on brain resilience, in addition to cover other related topics. We thank our platinum sponsor(s) NYO3 (Norway).
