On 18 September 2020, Danish Princess Benedikte presented the Alzheimer's Association's (Alzheimerforeningen) Researcher Award to neuropsychologist Asmus Vogel and Associate Professor of Pathobiological Sciences Kristine Freude. Princess Benedikte is patron of the Alzheimer's Association.
Every year, the Association, together with the Alzheimer's Research Foundation, marks the International Alzheimer's Day on 21 September by awarding two prizes to Danish researchers who have made a special contribution to Alzheimer's disease and other dementia diseases. The prize is DKK 300,000.
