Student for the Scientific Coordination Department

Context

The Pasqual Maragall Foundation was established in 2008 with the mission of promoting and advancing biomedical research of the highest quality. The Foundation is fully committed to playing a decisive role in contributing global solutions to the problem of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, as well as in raising public awareness about the disease.

The Foundation’s research is conducted at the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center (BBRC), a research center established in partnership with Pompeu Fabra University and the “la Caixa” Foundation.

The Pasqual Maragall Foundation’s vision is to achieve a future free of Alzheimer’s, within the framework of active and healthy aging associated with positive experiences and free from cognitive problems and decline. To this end, the BBRC’s research focuses on the primary and secondary prevention of Alzheimer’s disease, which is made possible by the participation of thousands of people who voluntarily contribute to scientific studies to ensure that, in the near future, there will be far fewer people affected by the disease.

The Pasqual Maragall Foundation is a private, nonprofit organization. Its financial resources come from philanthropic donations from organizations and companies, as well as from an extensive network of more than 115,000 members who help fund research. The research center’s scientific staff also competitively secures grants and subsidies, primarily from European funds and international foundations.

The FPM team includes cross-functional departments such as maintenance, IT, finance, procurement, human resources, communications, social programs, and fundraising, while the BBRC’s scientific team consists of researchers and professionals in the fields of medicine, biology, psychology, and nursing, among others. All of this takes place in a dynamic environment where ongoing challenges are an integral part of the Foundation’s work.
