Swiss Dementia Forum 2025 – Connecting Minds in Swiss Dementia Research
The Swiss Network for Dementia Research is pleased to announce the upcoming Swiss Dementia Forum 2025. This event brings together researchers, clinicians, and professionals from across Switzerland to advancing dementia research and care.
A platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and networking
On 6 – 7 November 2025, the Swiss Network for Dementia Research will host the 2025 at the Eventforum Bern – and registration is now open.
The Swiss Dementia Forum provides a national platform for stakeholders from science, clinical practice, and care to foster interdisciplinary exchange, strengthen cross-sector collaboration, and support the translation of scientific insights into clinical applications and societal impact.
A program shaped by collaboration and curiosity
In autumn 2024, the Forum’s began shaping the program. From the outset, the goal was to design a comprehensive program that reflects the breadth and depth of dementia research and care in Switzerland.
Participants can look forward to two days featuring a dynamic mix of presentations, a panel discussion, lightning talks, a poster session, and workshops. The program highlights the latest advancements in dementia research, treatment, and care.
Whether you work in basic research, clinical practice, health policy, industry or care delivery – the Forum offers space for networking, critical reflection, and new perspectives.
