More than 120 years advancing research to transform society
The ”la Caixa” Foundation has, over more than 120 years, built a solid model of support for research, health and talent. This trajectory began at the start of the twentieth century with the creation of ”la Caixa”, promoted by Francesc Moragas, and continues today with the development of the CaixaResearch Institute, led by Isidro Fainé. Under his chairmanship, the institution has steadily increased its annual budget in order to intensify its work in support of research into the most widespread diseases and the humanisation of healthcare.
