With a career spanning leadership of some of Europe’s most influential biomedical research institutions, Otmar Wiestler joins the Champalimaud Foundation as Director of Champalimaud Science. An internationally recognised physician-scientist and research leader, he has played a central role in shaping large-scale scientific organisations, most notably as President of the Helmholtz Association and, prior to that, as Chairman and CEO of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

For millions of Portuguese people, a cup of coffee is a daily ritual. Can this deeply ingrained habit play a role in the prevention, treatment or survival of breast cancer? 

The agreement between the two organisations will enable the reinforcement of the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) from the Breast Department to launch a pioneering line of research in Portugal. This line of research is entirely funded by Delta Cafés, which is thus playing an active role in advancing scientific knowledge.

The Vision Award Office is where ideas are shaped into global recognition.

It is here that the António Champalimaud Vision Award takes form, through careful preparation, collaboration and informed decision-making.

It is also home to the Ethics Committee, where research projects, in particular clinical studies, are supported and rigorously reviewed.

Here, decisions are not rushed. They are considered, debated and refined.

Because creating impact, and recognising it, requires the freedom to think deeply, to question, and to choose with responsibility.

Under the central theme of efficiency as a condition for a more sustainable, equitable and future-ready healthcare system, the event established itself as a forum for discussing concrete solutions, with proposals for more efficient use of public investment, improved incentives for professionals and patient-centred policies.
