Towards the end of 2006, the Trustees of the Novartis Foundation were informed that the support for the Foundation would cease at the end of February 2008. The Trustees considered various options for the future and, after much deliberation, favoured a merger with the Academy of Medical Sciences. The Academy of Medical Sciences and the Novartis Foundation merged on 31 July 2008 prior to the dissolution of the Foundation later this year. As a result of this merger the Academy has taken over 41 Portland Place and will be overseeing the current hospitality business until 31 December 2008. After this date the building will be closed for a major refurbishment and will reopen in 2010. The Novartis foundation and its predecessor the Ciba foundation, had a distinguished history in the promotion of international discussion of biomedicine.This web site contains information on the Novartis Foundation's publications and archive 41 Portland Place, |
