The ADNI platform for data collection was first imported in Europe thanks to the pilot European ADNI, and a number of ADNI-related initiatives have since flourished with different aims, from the development of standard operational procedures for the collection of markers, to the development of infrastructures for the treatment of ADNI data, and the collection of fresh ADNI compatible data. We will here review the most
