The Research Centre on Living with Dementia is based on close multi-disciplinary collaboration between researchers and experts from 8 research institutes at the University of Southern Denmark, Slagelse Hospital and the Professional Colleges (UCL). The strong multi-disciplinary consortium seeks to increase knowledge and evidence in the field of dementia by focusing on living with dementia in everyday life from the perspective of dementia affected. There are many aspects in the everyday life, therefore, there are also several perspectives in LIDEM’s research. In close collaboration with municipalities in Denmark and international experts, the research in LIDEM is focusing on 4 core perspectives. Across the perspectives the research is based on Citizen Science and include inequality in health. You can read more about each core perspective below.
