About us

Since 2008, we have been working at the Pasqual Maragall Foundation to achieve a future without Alzheimer's, in which aging is associated with neurodegeneratives diseases.

Science, the only way out

Prevention and quality of life

Prevention and quality of life

We are committed to preventing disease and improving the quality of life of people diagnosed with the disease and those who care for them.

We put our hearts into caring for our brains

Together, we join forces to make a future without Alzheimer's possible.

The Pasqual Maragall Foundation was founded in April 2008 as a result of the public commitment of Pasqual Maragall, former mayor of Barcelona and president of the Generalitat of Catalonia, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
