Policymaker Forums
The 10/66 Dementia Research Group will host a series of international policymaker forums, for national, regional and international policymakers, beginning in 2008, and continuing through the medium of ADI international and conferences (Singapore 2009, and Thessaloniki 2010). The aim will be to develop a network of engaged policymakers, to bring policymakers in contact with media and NGO advocates, to review learning from the 10/66 projects and consider policy implications, and to exchange information on new policy directions.
Details will of the policymaker forums (dates/ venues) be posted as soon as they are confirmed. Participation will be by invitation. If you are a policymaker and would be interested in taking part, then please register on this site and contact us at: 1066drg@iop.kcl.ac.uk.
