1st European Brain Policy Forum: A Focus on Parkinson’s Disease and the European Society06-08-2008 - 159K The first of a series of annual, multidisciplinary forums launched by the European Brain Council (EBC) to bring stakeholders together to discuss a major brain disease took Parkinson’s disease (PD) as its theme. The goal of the forum is to highlight the imbalance between the societal and individual costs of brain disease, and the resources allocated to dealing with the problem, and to help build a coordinated European research strategy to tackle it better in future. Each forum will open with an analysis of the burden and cost of the disease in question, and will then allow patients, policymakers, scientists, doctors and industry representatives—all those with a stake in disease-related research—to have their say. Overall, the forum will take the form of several series of short presentations followed by moderated discussion periods, and a final session for conclusions and recommendations.

Consensus document on European brain research29-12-2007 - 545K Brain disease psychiatric and neurologic disease combined
represents a considerable social and economic burden in
Europe. Data collected by the World Health Organization
(WHO) suggest that brain diseases are responsible for 35%
of Europe’s total disease burden. An analysis of all health
economic studies of brain diseases in Europe, published by
the European Brain Council (EBC) in June 2005, estimated
the total cost of brain disease in Europe in 2004 to be J386
billion. That burden is set to grow, mainly due to the fact that
the European population is ageing.
