The mission of the Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique - FNRS is to develop basic scientific research through initiatives presented by researchers. It promotes the production and development of knowledge by supporting individual researchers on the one hand, and by funding research programs carried out in laboratories and departments located mainly in the universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation on the other.
At the University of Namur, many researchers carry out their work thanks to funding from the FNRS.
The FNRS is a major source of funding for the University of Namur.
