Who we are
The European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA) is the only European Parkinson's umbrella organisation. We have been championing and working with the global Parkinson’s community for 27 years.
As the leading voice for Parkinson’s in Europe, we provide information and resources to all Parkinson’s stakeholders, raise awareness of the disease’s complexities and impact, and advocate for concrete policy change that benefits the Parkinson’s community.
Our vision is to enable all people with Parkinson's to live a full life, while supporting the search for a cure.
What we do
Engage
We engage and connect with the Parkinson’s community across Europe and the globe to champion collaborations and partnerships, help develop solutions to unmet needs, and raise awareness of the impact of the disease with decision makers.
Inform
Through our online library – the biggest in Europe – we provide up-to-date information, research and resources for Parkinson’s stakeholders to educate, advise and share good practices.
Unite
We represent national Parkinson's associations – that collectively have more than 120,000 members in nearly 30 countries across Europe – and advocate for the rights and needs of more than 1.2 million people with Parkinson’s and their families.
Advocate
We provide an authoritative voice on the impact of Parkinson’s across Europe and advocate for policy change that benefits the European Parkinson’s community.
