WELCOME LETTER 


Dear colleagues,

We are extremely honored and pleased to inform you that the Croatian Congress on Alzheimer’s Disease with International Participation (CROCAD-20) will be held from October 15-16, 2020 in VIRTUAL FORM, without the physical absence of participants and lecturers.

The Congress is organized by the Croatian Society for Alzheimer’s Disease and Old Age Psychiatry of the Croatian Medical Association and the Croatian Society for Neuroscience, under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science and Education and with the support of the Croatian Alzheimer Alliance and University Psychiatric Hospital Vrapče.

For the tenth time, we have an exceptional desire to gather distinguished domestic and foreign lecturers and numerous participants: doctors specialists, residents, psychologists, social workers, social pedagogues, economists, directors of homes for the elderly, pharmacists, neuroscientists, nurses and technicians, students, caregivers, all those who work and care for Alzheimer’s patients and, despite the current epidemiological situation, continue to educate and disseminate knowledge, in VIRTUAL FORM.

At the first virtual CROCAD-20 we expect about 200 participants from our country and neighboring countries, and foreign and domestic invited speakers, who will present the latest knowledge in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AB) and other dementias. Special attention will be paid on topics related to care givers and care for patients. Exchange of experiences, analysis of results and evaluation of achievements are crucial for achieving common goals – higher quality in our daily work.

The programme will include plenary lectures, oral presentations, round tables, and e-posters online, through the Zoom virtual platform.

Since there are no accommodation and travel costs now, we believe that it will be possible to direct the planned funds for this Congress – from sponsors and donations – to a larger number of online registration fees.

New circumstances bring new challenges and, in order not to fall behind in education and exchange of experience, we have had to adapt to this new way of ‘socializing’.

We invite you to join us in large numbers on the web platform, and with your participation contribute to our common goal – better understanding and better care for people with Alzheimer’s disease.

Stay healthy and welcome to the VIRTUAL CROCAD-20!
