![[Event Report] The First HGPI Dementia Policy Project Roundtable Discussion on “Establishing a Multi-Stakeholder Public-Private Partnership in the Field of Dementia – Driving Parallel Progress on an Inclusive Society and in R&D” (August 31, 2022)](https://hgpi.org/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/d1f548405b0cfbda57b565bb2492b999.jpg)
On August 31, 2022, Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the first roundtable discussion for an initiative titled, “Establishing a Multi-Stakeholder Public-Private Partnership in the Field of Dementia – Driving Parallel Progress on an Inclusive Society and in R&D.” The meeting was held online and was not open to the public.
HGPI views dementia and all other aging-related issues as health policy issues at the global level and has made continuous efforts in its capacity as a non-profit, independent health policy think tank to advance policies in this area around the world. In particular, HGPI was early to call for all-of-government initiatives for addressing dementia and has issued multiple recommendations to that end. The fruits of these efforts can be seen in the National Framework for Promotion of Dementia Policies formulated in 2019.
However, establishing a Public Private Partnership (PPP) that enables industry, Government, academia, and civil society to collaborate in R&D in the field of dementia and to achieve a dementia-friendly society remains an issue. In other fields such as cancer, there have already been initiatives to advance R&D with active involvement from patient advocacy organizations in clinical trials. The field of dementia has also reached the point where we should establish a platform that enables a broad variety of stakeholders to collaborate on the creation of an inclusive society and to promote R&D.
After a preliminary survey of members from academia was conducted and issues were sorted, this roundtable discussion examined issues and next steps to be taken with three discussion points as themes:
Discussion point 1: Policy issues surrounding R&D and the direction to take moving forward
Discussion point 2: Challenges facing Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in dementia research
Discussion point 3: Issues surrounding R&D programs
This roundtable was a significant opportunity for multi-stakeholders representing industry, Government, academia, and civil society to meet and exchange opinions on the future of R&D in a manner that surpassed each member’s position and field.
