Including the FNRS in your will means helping to support important scientific advances. Here are some of the discoveries of our researchers :
A team from ULiège has identified a new mechanism within lung cancer cells, opening the way to new therapeutic approaches to slow metastases.
Researchers at ULB have discovered a new population of neurons which could play a role in Parkinson's disease, with the hope of a new treatment.
A team from UCLouvain has calculated that the Arctic sea ice could disappear from 2030 or 2035, warning of the need to act quickly.
Researchers from ULiège have spotted the smallest asteroids ever observed, an important discovery in the context of Earth's planetary defense.

Prices and sponsorship
For many years, the FNRS has worked in close collaboration with several individuals and organizations wishing to encourage research in all fields of science.
These sources of funding, which come from the private sector and which complement public funding, are essential: they allow the FNRS to finance thematic research projects, additional operating credits for young researchers, and particularly daring research projects, in accordance with the values and wishes of patrons.
Thanks to these, the FNRS can grant scientific prizes aimed at rewarding a researcher or a research team for particularly innovative work in a specific field. It can also finance the work of researchers for a specific period. Our patrons thus support the research of tomorrow and are fully involved in medical, economic and social progress.
Individuals or companies: get involved with the FNRS to support research on themes that are important to you.

Thanks to a Prize from the AstraZeneca Foundation, Charlotte Beaudart, researcher at UNamur, is working on sarcopenia, a disease linked to aging which can affect us all from the age of 50. Video
Thanks to the Generet Prize for rare diseases, awarded by the Generet Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation, Miikka Vikkula (UCLouvain) was able to pave the way for new treatments for patients with vascular anomalies. Video
Thanks to an Audacious Medical Grant, made possible through philanthropic support, Michaël Herfs (ULiège) was able to demonstrate that different cancer cells share a common origin. This discovery opens up new avenues for understanding tumour heterogeneity, a major challenge in oncology, particularly in explaining why some tumours develop resistance to treatment. New
Coraline Radermecker, Research Associate at ULiège, recipient of the 2025 Baillet Latour Medical Award for her research on lung infections “This Award changes everything! Receiving such a prestigious and significant award greatly enhances the international visibility of my research. It also enables me to carry out my research using cutting-edge techniques and to fully realise the potential of this project.” Vidéo
