António Champalimaud Vision Award
The António Champalimaud Vision Award has the support of Vision 2020 – The Right To Sight, a global initiative for the prevention of blindness launched in association with the World Health Organisation and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

The recipients of the award are productive research groups rather than single individuals. This may involve groups from more than one institution or discipline.
