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.
