The Board of Trustees wanted to commemorate the first centenary of the birth of Nuria Pla Monseny (Barcelona, May 5th, 1916) through a series of events to remember the figure of the Founder, promote knowledge of the Foundation and thus contribute to the promotion of the work of Mrs. Nuria and its continuation through the purposes of our Foundation.

On December 2nd, 2015, it was delivered by the headquarters of the Foundation the Nuria Pla Scholarship for medical research. This year it’s endowed with € 70,000 for the project that has been the winner in the selection process organized by BRN Foundation through a jury of international experts. The name of the rewarded project is: ‘Observatory IPF.cat: looking for personalizing medicine’, in this case referring to the disease of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Mrs. Nuria, every year, as the Christmas festivities approached placed her beloved nativity scene made up of figures of various origins, some of them several centuries old, in the outbuildings of her residence; well, this year in her memory the Foundation has reconfigured the nativity scene, as she used to do, so that it can be visited by the general public who will surely appreciate its artistic and sentimental value.
Continuing with the aim of conserving the collection of furniture and decorative objects of the founder the rehabilitation work of the old house of Mrs. Nuria Pla and headquarters of the Foundation has continued to be done as planned to be able to offer the public a new exhibition hall the opening of which took place on December 2nd.
