The Fundacion Dr. Antonio Esteve (Esteve Foundation), established in 1983, has the main aim of encour-
aging progress in Pharmacotherapy through communication and scientific discussion.
The Foundation wishes to promote international cooperation in pharmacotherapeutic research and, to
that end, organizes international multidisciplinary meetings where small groups of researchers can discuss
the results of their work. Such discussions find an outlet in various publication formats such as the Esteve
Foundation Symposia and the Esteve Foundation Discussion Groups. —
Other Esteve Foundation activities include organizing meetings to discuss problems of a more local
scope, published as monographs or notebooks. The Foundation also participates in conferences, sem-
inars, Courses and other forms of support of the medical, pharmaceutical and biological sciences, not
least among which is the Research Prize, granted biennially to the best article published by a Spanish
author within the field of pharmacotherapy.
Striking among the variety of publications that the Esteve Foundation promotes is the series Pharma-
cotherapy Revisited, which compiles the main articles that laid the foundation of a specific discipline in
several volumes, in facsimile edition.
