JPND held an industry consultation meeting on May 16th, 2011 at the University of Milan, Italy.

The consultation brought together representatives from biotechnology, biopharmaceutical and diagnostic companies with specific interest in the neurodegenerative diseases that fall within the focus of the JPND research agenda.

The aim of the meeting was to ascertain; the key priorities and needs of industries active in the field of ND, the “industry view” on the priorities identified by the academic sector through the thematic workshops, and the specific requirements for collaborative activity with the academic sector and other stakeholders (funders, regulators, etc.).
