The ”la Caixa” Foundation Research and Innovation in Health Awards 2026 ceremony
On 15 October, CosmoCaixa Barcelona hosted the ”la Caixa” Foundation Research and Innovation in Health Awards 2026 ceremony, an evening for our scientific community to come together and celebrate discovery, collaboration and a shared goal: improving people’s health.
For the very first time we honoured, at the same event, all the researchers who lead the 80 projects selected across the three calls in health research fields: 32 projects from the 2026 Health Research Call, 18 projects from the very first 2026 HealthCare Research Call and 30 projects from the 2026 CaixaImpulse Health Innovation Call.
Once again, this annual event demonstrated what science can achieve when passion, excellence and dedication converge.
Read more about the Ceremony and the 80 awarded projects in the ”la Caixa” Foundation Research blog.
