Division Neurodegenerative diseases

Launching of a first phase of a European Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Register as transnational MS data collection system in Europe on the basis of pilot projects tested in former EU projects in the field focusing on the development of a minimum dataset, divided into a medical and a socio-economic part under certain conditions (such as a modular structure of the register, allowing input from existing and future national registries). The aim is to support the development of European Multiple Sclerosis registers, in order to provide comparable and reliable information at European level.

Support to the creation of networks of action on neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental diseases not covered by existing EU actions (e.g. Parkinson, epilepsy, etc.). These networks should constitute key instruments to increase stakeholders cooperation and consensus initiatives on best practices and epidemiological knowledge on these diseases and contribute to developing clinical research. The aim is to have better comparable European information in the area of neurodegenerative/neurodevelopmental diseases, following the Communication on Alzheimer's and other dementias.
