About

Stop Alzheimer, the Foundation for Alzheimer's Research, has been supporting the necessary Alzheimer's research at Belgian universities with donor's financial help since 1995. Together, let's stop Alzheimer's for good!

In Belgium, 1 in 5 people will develop a form of dementia. In 70% of cases, this is Alzheimer's, a disease that is still incurable.

Currently, 20% of the population is developing a form of dementia. If nothing is true, the number of patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease in Belgium will have doubled by 2046 and there will always be no medicine. Hope remains in scientific research! The mission of the Alzheimer Research Foundation is to carry out the Belgian scientific investigation into the disease of Alzheimer's disease and the origins of dementia are important. Since the beginning of the year, their donors have received 18 new projects for the sum of 3.8 millions of euros. Realison's ensemble l'ultime percée: parvenir à un traitement curatif.

1 in 5 people will develop Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. And if nothing is done, the number of Alzheimer's patients in Belgium will have almost doubled by 2046, because there are currently no medicines. And the only solution is scientific research! That is why the Alzheimer Research Foundation supports Belgian scientific research into Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Last year, the foundation financed 18 new projects for 3.8 million euros. But so much more money is needed to force the final breakthrough: a medicine against Alzheimer's disease.

Goal of Stop Alzheimer: The Alzheimer Research Foundation, founded in 1995, is the only Belgian public utility foundation that finances fundamental, clinical and psychosocial Alzheimer research to prevent, treat and cure the disease, as well as to improve the quality of life of current patients.

How Stop Alzheimer's Works: To ensure that the donations to their Foundation are used optimally, they have a scientific advisory board consisting of 9 Belgian professors. Every year, the foundation calls on all Belgian universities to submit new research projects. The submitted projects are then subjected to a strict, independent and objective selection so that only the most innovative and relevant projects are funded.
