By virtue of an agreement concluded with SHAPE on 19 March 1968, Belgium undertook to pay an annual contribution (3% of the budget) to the operating expenses of the SHAPE International School located in Mons..
Each year, the Belgian Science Policy gives funding representing the intervention of Belgium to various education related institutions - public or private, Belgian or foreign.
Given the nature and the national or international missions of these institutions, the subsidies or credits continue to be borne by the federal budget.
