Salutation
Following the successful outcomes of the previous Conferences on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders as well as the fruitful results of the daily collaboration between the scientists of several medical disciplines for fighting this terrible disease, we are convinced that there is a need for organizing a 6th Conference on Alzheimer's Disease. The main objective of the Conference is to investigate ways of improving the quality of life of both the Alzheimer's disease patients and their caregivers. To achieve that, the Conference will host a number of sessions each one covering a distinct thematic area, giving thus the opportunity to both experts and interested attendees to focus on particular aspects related to the disease.
