Within the Scientific Research Program, the Chiesi Foundation is pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Call for Proposal, which will be funded starting from this year.

Our commitment to scientific research derives from who is taking care of health since more than 80 years through important investment in scientific research: our founder, Chiesi Pharmaceuticals, which is placed among the first 1000 companies for investing in scientific research.

Up until now, The Chiesi Foundation is part of the non-for-profit organizations that annually grants financial support to national and international scientific research projects.

The evaluation of the projects was carried on by the Chiesi Foundation scientific committee based on specific criteria and consistency with the objectives stated on the Call.
