Knowledge exchange
Sharing credible tools, lessons, implementation experience, and unanswered questions across settings.
Our priorities
Shared learning across borders
Global Partnerships
Connecting organizations and communities so proven knowledge travels farther and local experience shapes global progress.
In development
IDCC is building this area thoughtfully with qualified partners and people whose lives are affected by dementia.
Our approach
Purposeful work, shaped by evidence and lived experience.
Dementia is a worldwide challenge, but needs, resources, languages, cultures, and systems differ. Durable progress requires global exchange without assuming that one model fits every place.
IDCC aims to create practical partnerships among researchers, clinicians, universities, nonprofits, health systems, public agencies, and communities. We will emphasize reciprocal learning, thoughtful adaptation, transparency, and respect for local leadership.
What we will focus on
Four commitments guiding this priority.
Each focus area will be developed with clear objectives, appropriate expertise, and meaningful community input.
Cultural adaptation
Working with local partners to adapt language, examples, delivery, and measures—not simply translate words.
Collaborative networks
Connecting complementary expertise across research, care delivery, education, and public health.
Shared learning
Using clear goals and common measures where helpful while preserving important local context.
Programs we are shaping
Building the foundation before the launch.
These initiatives are planned concepts, not yet active services. Their design, timing, and scope will depend on expert review, partnerships, community input, and funding.
International roundtable
A recurring forum for practical exchange among leaders in science, care, and community work.
Global partner network
A mission-aligned community for collaboration, referrals, and joint initiatives.
Adaptation laboratory
A structured process for tailoring promising resources with local communities.
Global knowledge collection
A future resource highlighting useful models, evidence, and implementation lessons.
