As part of the project “Cognitive vitality – a healthy mind in every body”, the Institute of Cognitive Neurology and Dementia Research, headed by Prof. Dr. Düzel, and the Institute of Social Medicine and Health Systems Research, headed by Prof. Dr. Dr. Apfelbacher, have put together a committed group of people with personal experience of cognitive limitations from their everyday lives and/or their professional/voluntary environment. This Civic Stakeholder Engagement is coordinated by Robert Pohl and met for the first time at the end of January 2025 to discuss questions about the practical relevance and effectiveness of various approaches. The focus was on the measures planned by the research team.
