The Belgian Science Policy is the umbrella organisation for a number of prestigious institutions such as Academia Belgica in Rome, the Biermans-Lapôtre Foundation in Paris, the weather station on the Jungfraujoch in the Alps, the Overseas Academy of Science, the Royal Belgian Film Archive, the Euro Space Center and the Von Karman Institute. These institutions present our researchers with added opportunities to show themselves in the international arena.
Each year, the Belgian Science Policy gives funding representing the intervention of Belgium to various culture and 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..
