About the EPDA
The European Parkinson's Disease Association (EPDA) is a non-religious, non-political, and non-profit making organisation concerned with the health and welfare of people living with Parkinson's disease and their families and carers.
Founded in June 1992, in Munich, with a membership of 9 European Parkinson's patient organisations, the EPDA currently has a membership of
40

The EPDA also has 7 Associate (non-voting) Members:

The EPDA provides an important forum for partnership. By encouraging constructive dialogue between international patient and neurological organisations, and the pharmaceutical industry, we are able to develop research projects into quality of life issues, and conferences for multidisciplinary
teams and people with Parkinson's of all ages.
