> Scientific research

Responsibility for scientific research is shared between the Federal Authority and the federated entities. In Wallonia, it is thus the Walloon Region, the French Community, and the German-speaking Community. The Federal Authority and the federated entities are each responsible for scientific research in the domains they are competent for, including the international aspects of research.  

The National Fund for Scientific research - FNRS, subsidized by the French Community, finances research programs and hires researchers.

The Federal Authority also remains competent for:
- The national and international networks, programmes and actions requiring uniform application and for space research in the framework of international agreements.
-  Eleven federal scientific establishments situated in the Brussels-Capital Region (ten of them) and the Flemish Region.
