Each doctoral school with the F.R.S.-FNRS is placed under the responsibility of a “scientific council” (Organisational Rules – Doctoral Schools).
The members of this council are appointed by the Board of the F.R.S.-FNRS on the proposal of the rectors.
Each university institution that is authorised in the field according to the terms of the decree must be represented by a member.
The doctoral schools of the F.R.S.-FNRS submit an annual report to the F.R.S.-FNRS Doctoral Schools Commission.
