The António Champalimaud Vision Award is presented to active research groups involved in basic or clinical research which has led to a major breakthrough in the understanding and/or the preservation of vision. The 2024 awards were presented to Margaret Livingstone, Nancy Kanwisher, Doris Tsao (from the United States) and Winrich Freiwald (Germany) for their innovative contributions to understanding the neural mechanisms underlying facial recognition.

Their collective work has led to significant advances in the field of visual neuroscience. Attend the award lecture to hear their insight on how the brain processes and recognises faces, a fundamental aspect of social interaction and human cognition. Leonor Beleza of the Champalimaud Foundation will give opening remarks.
