The FNRS participated in the creation of the Higher Council for Scientific Integrity (CSIS) officially announced by the Royal Academies of Belgium on 06/30/2021.

The creation of this body responds to the recommendation [1] formulated by the Council of Ministers of the European Union, meeting on 01/12/2015 in Luxembourg. This is a structure responsible for promoting scientific integrity (good practices and participation in dedicated international networks) and dealing with individual cases of attacks on scientific integrity (document 14.83/15).

The Wallonia-Brussels Federation now has a structure similar to those put in place in many European countries, including the Flemish Community.

The CSIS is established within the Royal Academies of Belgium (ARMB and ARB). It includes a  Supervisory Committee  and a  Advisory committee . 

- The Supervisory Committee is made up of a representative from each of the founding institutions. The members are:

  • Danielle Balériaux - ULB
  • Didier Viviers - ULB
  • Marius Gilbert - ULB
  • Ruddy Wattiez - UMONS
  • Jean-Christophe Renauld - UCLouvain
  • Arnaud Goolaerts - ULB
  • Carine Michiels - UNamur
  • Olivier Paye - USL-B
  • Michel Moutschen - ULiège

- The Advisory Committee is made up of three members from the following areas:

Exact and applied sciences:

  • Yves Caudano - UNamur
  • Christine Renotte - UMONS
  • Nadine Mattielli - ULB

Biomedical Sciences:

  • Pierre Maquet - ULiège
  • Émile Van Schaftingen - UCLouvain
  • Joanne Rasschaert - ULB

Human and social sciences

  • Christine Servais - ULiège
  • Bernard Harmegnies - UMONS
  • Evelyne Léonard - UCLouvain

To these 9 members is added a member specialized in the legal field and with consultative skills, without voting rights: Christine Guillain - USL-B

 

[1] The Council of Ministers of the European Union, meeting on 01/12/2015 in Luxembourg, recommends that States create structures responsible for promoting scientific integrity and dealing with individual cases of attacks on scientific integrity (document 14.853/15). It is desirable that a French-speaking Belgian Commission for scientific integrity be established in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. Such structures are set up in many European countries and in the Flemish Community of Belgium. This document describes the regulations
