Fundação Champalimaud
The Fundação Champalimaud, based in Lisbon, was born from the legacy of the late Portuguese businessman António de Sommer Champalimaud. At the end of 2004, it was formally registered as the Anna de Sommer Champalimaud and Dr. Carlos Montez Champalimaud Foundation, in honour of the benefactor's parents. As stipulated by António Champalimaud before his death, Leonor Beleza, former Minister of Health, is the president of the Foundation.
