BIAL Foundation - 30 Years
1994-2024
Created on 6 May 1994 by the BIAL pharmaceutical company together with the Council of Rectors of Portuguese Universities, the BIAL Foundation celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2024. Over three decades, the BIAL Foundation has awarded and supported those who seek to advance science and knowledge in Portugal and around the world.
Always with transparency and rigour as its flagships, and from a patronage stance, the BIAL Foundation will continue to promote research and stimulate discoveries that enable human beings to live better lives, using all their potential and respecting Universal Laws.
