Announcement

Nowadays, the Foundations operates various facilities for the rehabilitation and support of people with physical and multiple disabilities, especially people with neurological impairments. It is also dedicated to research in neurorehabilitation and inclusion research. On the occasion of its 90th anniversary in 2006, the Foundation established a research prize in the field of neurorehabilitation, which is presented every three years, making 2024 the seventh time.
