The Pasqual Maragall Foundation is a private, non-profit foundation dedicated to scientific research of Alzheimer's disease.

Its headquarters are located in the Ciutadella Campus of the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona.
Private and independent, the Pasqual Maragall Foundation counts on the economic support of partner enterprises and a network of associates and donors that make the project viable. Regarding its governing bodies, Dr. Jordi Camí is the director of the Foundation, Diana Garrigosa is the president and Pasqual Maragall, is the honorary president.
