Bilateral agreements concluded with sister institutions

Fundamental research relies on networks that know no borders. The FNRS encourages scientific collaborations between researchers from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and their counterparts abroad. To this end, bilateral scientific cooperation agreements have been concluded with sister institutions around the world, which aim to facilitate the movement of researchers, encourage the creation of centers of excellence and support the creation of new areas of research. There are two types of agreements:
