It has provided an important forum to work in collaboration with European organisations, both patient and neurological, the European Commission, the World Health Organisation, the World Federation of Neurology, and the treatments industry. This partnership has enabled the development of research projects into quality of life issues, and conferences for multidisciplinary teams and people with Parkinson's of any age.
