U-CARE’s PhD student Frida Svedin recently participated in the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2025 in Toronto, Canada. The conference, which gathered researchers, clinicians, people with lived experience of dementia, and informal caregivers from across the world, spanned five days with an additional two days of pre-conference workshops.
Frida Svedin attended the full conference programme as well as a pre-conference workshop entitled ‘Building capacity for collaborations among researchers and people with lived experience of dementia: global perspectives’. The workshop explored approaches to strengthen collaboration between researchers and individuals directly affected by dementia.
During the conference, Frida presented U-CARE’s research on involving people with lived experience in the development of the INVOLVERA intervention, a psychological support programme for people with dementia and depression.
