The research projects focus on dementia in people with intellectual disabilities. People with Down syndrome deserve specific attention, given their high risk to develop dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia are a specific research focus. The various projects are conducted by the UMCG in collaboration with various Dutch health care organizations, the Hanzehogeschool Groningen and European partners.
