Welcome

Welcome to the Dutch Dementia Researchers Conference:
Bridging minds, breaking barriers
the Dutch conference for all dementia researchers

After last year’s success the DDRC returns!

Following the enthusiastic response to the first Dutch Dementia Researchers Conference in 2024, we are excited to announce the second edition of the DDRC, taking place on February 12, 2026, at 1931 Congrescentrum in ’s-Hertogenbosch.

On behalf of Alzheimer Nederland, ZonMw, Health~Holland, and DEMPACT, we warmly invite all dementia researchers, from all disciplines, to join us for another inspiring and collaborative day. The DDRC is your platform to share research, foster new connections, and learn about studies that advance our collective understanding of dementia.

This year, the DDRC will again offer engaging plenary sessions with keynote speakers and parallel sessions. In addition, special attention will be given to opportunities for collaboration between public and private partners. By bringing together researchers and industry we aim to stimulate valuable connections for innovation in dementia research.

The 1931 venue offers an excellent environment for both scientific exchange and informal interaction.

Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just starting out, we look forward to welcoming you in Den Bosch in February 2026.

We hope to see you all again at the DDRC 2026!
