About the Francqui Chair
The Francqui Chair, existing since 1933, is one of the cornerstone initiatives of the Foundation. This Chair encourages the collaboration and exchanges between (mostly Belgian) Universities. This, in turn, enriches academic environments, advances academic excellence and interdisciplinary research, and also contributes to strengthen the different universities’ reputations. Accordingly, the Francqui Chair is a prestigious honorary recognition awarded to a laureate for academic excellence and interdisciplinary collaboration, not a regular academic position.
The inaugural lecture of such a cycle is usually the opportunity to bring together all the personalities of the discipline concerned.
