The DZNE was founded on 3 April 2009. Its creation was conceived by the Federal Ministry of Science and Education and Minister Prof. Dr. Annette Schavan in cooperation with the Ministries of several German States.

Our mission is to research into the causes and possible cure/prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.

Over its first five years the DZNE will strive to establish its scientific and legal organization and at the same time reach a top internationally competitive standard.

The DZNE is organized as a publically registered association. Its bodies are the Executive Board, DZNE Council and DZNE Senate.
