“I think it’s essential to have this kind of foundations. The Dr. Antoni Esteve
Foundation has taken the trouble to maintain a level of quality that ensures the prestige of
the acts they organize. I think that they have prioritized scientific veracity and public
benefit. The Foundation has earned the respect of the scientific community, especially in
pharmacology, the field that I know best.”

“I know of no other organs or institutions that altruistically train people in
skill areas that are truly neglected by others. I would also underline that these activities
are very well planned out and executed by an excellent selection of professionals, as well
as the Foundation’s efforts to provide documentation and support for all the subjects dealt
with so that people who have not been able to attend can also benefit from the information
discussed and imparted”

“Clinical pharmacology is a young specialty, a specialty with a great future but a
traditional lack of institutional support. The Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation provides
important support for the specialty. I believe it is one of the pillars on which the
specialty can feel supported by society. I believe the Foundation has played an important
role in this sense.”
F. Rodríguez de Fonseca
Director of the Hospital Carlos Haya de Málaga Foundation
“The public administrations fail to recognize pharmacology, one of the fundamental
pillars of medicine, as a science capable of solving problems. Pharmacology should be
promoted as an exemplary science that can be as important as genetics, genomics, or
molecular biology. The Dr. Antoni Esteve Foundation’s defense of pharmacology is
fundamental.”
Roser González
Chair of Genetics, University of Barcelona
“One of the Foundation’s outstanding characteristics is quality. They have ensured
that the speakers are great specialists, that the participants are actively involved in the
field, and then they have compiled all their contributions and included them in different
publications. I think the tasks they carry out have great value”
Maribel Martín
Chair of Pharmacology, URJC
“In my laboratory, I want to communicate with the man in the street, but if nobody
approaches, this can be very difficult. I’m not going to shout out the window. Luckily, the
Foundation often acts as my megaphone”
