More research, less brain diseases

As you may probably know and be aware, public funding for research is currently not enough to face all the challenges and ambitious goals set out in our ongoing efforts to better understand and combat the brain diseases.

We therefore need to reach out and inform society about the importance of making voluntary and selfless contributions to advance knowledge, with the will of fostering the search for therapies for neurodegenerative and/or autoimmune-mediated brain diseases.

SUPPORTING ACHUCARRO

Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience Fundazioa (ACHUCARRO) is a research institution that is at the forefront of research in neurobiology. Since its creation in 2012, and with the participation of research groups already established in the Basque Science System for more than 25 years, ACHUCARRO has fostered a legacy of excellence in scientific research and that is why it is already recognized as one of the research institutions most promising in the interaction between neurons and glia.

Our ultimate objective, summarised in our motto, is to advance knowledge and foster translation of scientific breakthroughs into novel and more effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat brain diseases.

SPONSORS

If your company is interested in collaborating with a social project related to neuroscience research, ACHUCARRO has a variety of scientific projects, fellowships or grants, and dissemination activities eligible for funding from the private sector.

Projects, fellowships, grants and dissemination activities are a great investment for companies willing to boost their commitment with Society and developing a strategy on social responsibility.
