On 10 December 2024, the FNRS Board of Directors awarded 2 AMG-Neuro.

This funding, made possible by private sponsorship, is intended to support research projects that are original and daring but which do not find support in traditional funding channels because of a lack of preliminary data, the absence of previous work or an unusual methodology.

The AMG-Neuro 2024 call focused on neuroscience: development of the nervous system, homeostasis and ageing, function and dysfunction of the nervous system, systems neuroscience and modelling, biological basis of cognitive and behavioural processes, neurological and mental disorders.

On December 10, 2024, the IISN (Interuniversity Institute for Nuclear Sciences- FNRS dedicated fund) Board of Directors granted the following IISN Research Projects.
