The Francqui Prize
The Francqui Prize - also known as the "Belgian Nobel Prize" - is awarded each year to a scientist from the exact sciences, the humanities and the biological and medical sciences.
Francqui Fondation
The Fondation Francqui, established in 1932 by Émile Francqui and Herbert Hoover, aims to promote excellence in fundamental research in Belgium, by supporting higher education and scientific progress.
Professing no philosophical or political doctrine, the Fondation offers unwavering moral support to scientists, thereby having a lasting influence on the national intellectual landscape in the service of the general interest.
Among its initiatives, the Fondation awards the Prix Francqui, a prestigious distinction for Belgian researchers under 50 who have made a significant contribution to science. It also awards Chaires Francqui, which offers Belgian universities the opportunity to invite a professor from another Belgian university to give a series of ten-hour lectures, thus promoting collaboration and academic exchange.
