Italian MS Society and its Foundation - Annual Scientific Congress 2022
2022-05-24 - 2022-05-26 | Hotel A.Roma Lifestyle, Via Giorgio Zoega 59, Rome, Italy
ALAMEDA participates in the Annual FISM Congress 2022

Last week, ALAMEDA has been invited to take part to the Italian Multiple Sclerosis Foundation (FISM) 2022 Annual Congress.
Every year in May, on the occasion of the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Week, the FISM Scientific Congress is organized in Rome (see 2022 programme here). At this appointment, the researchers supported by AISM and its Foundation (FISM) meet to report on the results obtained from the funded research. In addition, research strategies, collaborations and partnerships at national and international level are discussed and new synergies are promoted, thanks to which it is possible to face the important challenges posed by MS.

The title of the 2022 edition of the Congress was “Connecting MS with other neurodegenerative diseases: together we are stronger” which emphasises the importance of tackling the challenges posed by neurodegenerative diseases promoting coordination and collaboration among research groups and initiatives.
On the first day, we have had the chance to listen and learn about several inspiring international and EU initiatives that altogether are striving for putting neurological diseases at the top of the priority agenda of public health and health research by posing the accent on the urgent need for broader partnerships, multi-stakeholder commitment and policy convergence at both national and international level.
The outstanding line-up of speakers included Giselda Scalera, Director of the DG Research & Innovation of the Italian Ministry of Health who spoke about the concept of “sustainable partnerships” in the Italian national research system and how it materialises in the domain of brain sciences through the Italian Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Network (Rete Italiana delle Neuroscienze e della Riabilitazione, RIN), the country’s largest research network in this field which encourages collaboration between recognised Italian Research Hospitals (Istituti di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, IRCCS), facilitate the spread of information on their clinical and scientific activities, supports and facilitates scientific and technological research and training initiatives, as well as the development of joint projects to improve prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of specific diseases, with an increasing commitment towards responsible and participatory research models.

World Mental Health 2022
2022-10-10
The 2022 World Mental Health Day theme ‘Make Mental Health & Well-Being for All a Global Priority’ was chosen by a global vote that included WFMH members, stakeholders and supporters, and I am very grateful to all of you who participated in this process.
In 2021 the UN Secretary-General said that, without determined action, the impact of COVID 19 on mental health may last far longer than the pandemic itself. He urged us to act to redress the glaring inequalities exposed by the pandemic, including the inequality in access to mental health services.
People with lived experience of mental illness, their families and other disadvantaged populations continue to tell us that their mental health well- being is not always in the mind of governments, as well as those who pay for services and society at large.
In high income countries over 75% of people with depression have reported that they do not receive adequate care and in low and middle-income countries over 75% of people with mental health conditions have received no treatment at all.

The AIMH 2023 Workshop will bring together scientists and practitioners interested in presenting research and exchanging views on how to make a better use of Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning, in novel applications for medicine and healthcare, how to better exploit these technologies to provide qualified solutions for prognosis, prevention, improved disease detection, rehabilitation and enhanced service delivery in modern medicine and healthcare.
A debate on future directions of research and development in the area will be organized by the end of the Workshop, giving the participants the possibility to share ideas and make new contacts.
AIMH 2023 will be held in Bucharest, Romania, on 24-25 May 2023, in conjunction with the 24th International Conference on Control Systems and Computer Science (CSCS 24) that will take place between 24-26 May 2023.

World Parkinson Congress 2023
2023-07-04 08:00 - 2023-07-07 17:00 | Barcelona, Spain
The triennial World Parkinson Congresses provide an international forum for basic scientists, clinical researchers, health care professionals, people with Parkinson’s and others to come together under one roof to discuss, learn, and engage in debate around the latest scientific discoveries, medical and comprehensive care practices related to Parkinson’s disease.
Unlike other scientific congresses, the World Parkinson Congress brings together all members of the Parkinson’s community. As an inclusive event, the WPC was founded on the belief that getting world leaders out of their professional silos and forcing a cross pollination of the scientific, clinical, rehabilitation, and advocacy communities would expedite the discovery of a cure and cultivate best treatment practices for this devastating disease.
Whether this cross pollination takes place in the audience at a scientific lecture, from the stage between the presenters, during poster talks, or at a small round table discussion, the take away is often the same – we need to evolve how we think when it comes to treatment for Parkinson’s and how to move forward together as a community to expedite research and get us closer to new treatments and ultimately a cure.
