In recognition of the global problem posed by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, an international think-tank meeting was convened by Biocat, the Pasqual Maragall Foundation, and the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute in February 2009. The meeting initiated the planning of a European Union-North American collaborative research enterprise to expedite the delay and ultimate prevention of dementing disorders. The key aim is to build parallel and complementary research infrastructure that will support international standardization and inter-operability among researchers in both continents. The meeting identified major challenges, opportunities for research resources and support, integration with ongoing efforts, and identification of key domains to influence the design and administration of the enterprise.
认识到阿尔茨海默病和其他痴呆症所带来的全球性问题，2009年2月，生物催化协会、帕斯夸尔·马拉加尔基金会和卢·鲁沃脑研究所召集了一次国际智库会议。该会议启动了一项欧盟-北美合作研究计划的规划，以加速延缓并最终预防痴呆症。其关键目标是建立平行且互补的研究基础设施，以支持两大洲研究人员之间的国际标准化和互操作性。会议确定了主要挑战、研究资源和支持的机会、与现有工作的整合，以及确定影响该计划设计和管理的关键领域。
