Vision, mission and values
Vision
The Foundation is a meeting point where scientists and researchers converge to generate knowledge in the field of pharmacology to favor welfare and progress.
Our initial vision forged under Sergi Erill’s leadership (1983-2009) continues to guide our way toward a healthier, more promising future.
Mission
The Foundation’s mission is to promote pharmacology research both nationally and internationally, fostering collaboration and the generation of knowledge to advance science and favor the development of new treatments.
Values
Critical spirit
Research and science advance when their current limits are questioned. We promote open, innovative scientific debates to stimulate research and the generation of knowledge in pharmacology.
Commitment
We are committed to pharmacology research: we provide researchers and scientific institutions with opportunities and new challenges for research to improve the welfare and health of our society.
Quality
We seek and apply tools to promote quality research. Internally, we apply appropriate criteria for assessment to ensure the best control and follow-up. Externally, we stimulate research through awards and other actions.
Trust
We believe in the potential of people. We place our trust in researchers and support our institutions to create the ecosystem necessary for quality research.
Transparency
We believe in transparency as a means of guaranteeing the best internal management and good results.
History
