From the family pillow fight to the final battle, there will be something for everyone throughout the afternoon and, like last year, no dress code will be too extravagant. On top of sending pillows flying into the air, visitors will also have the opportunity to visit booths where scientists will be sharing information about Parkinson’s disease and research in Luxembourg. The participants will be able to try on a Parkinson suit at the LIH booth for example or to test their dexterity and their senses with the NCER-PD team. Visitors of all ages will also have the chance to do some experiments prepared by the Scienteens Lab to better understand how neurons work.
• Prof. Romain Martin Pallage, Vice-Rector of the University of Luxembourg
• Dr Ulf Nerhbass, CEO of the LIH
• Dr Marc Schiltz, Secretary General of the Luxembourg National Research Fund
• Roseline Lentz, President of the association Parkinson Luxembourg
• Lydia Mutsch, Minister of Health
