Aneurysmal Pathology Foundation (APF):

APF is a charitative Foundation who aims to promote, help, support, encourage in a selfless way all national and international initiatives related to the medical research and the prevention of aneurysms.

For that purpose, the foundation may exercise the following activities (as examples) :

  • To participate in and/or organize – be it for valuable consideration or for free – lectures, medical traineeships, seminars, workshops, publications, national and international research programmes;
  • To inform the general public about aneurysms in general (cause, consequences, early warning signs, treatments, …)
  • To donate in favor of organizations or natural persons defending and promoting this research and information to the general public;
  • To make some premises available for the organization of events;
  • To provide students and researchers with scholarship;
  • To create a chair, a prize or a charitable association.

The foundation achieves its disinterested goal in absolute discretion.
