History
The original statutes of the National Fund for Scientific Research were approved by the Royal Decree of 2/6/1928 (BOG 20/6/1928), the most recent statutes were approved by the Royal Decree of 5/3/1992 (BOG 28/3/1992 and ABOG (Annex to BOG) 2/7/1992). Amendments were approved by the Royal Decree of 20/6/1997 (BOG 17/7/1997 and ABOG 13/11/1997, errata ABOG 11/12/1997).
The three Boards of Trustees of the NFWO/FNRS - the Flemish, the French-speaking and the Federal - are the forerunners of the three current Public Utility Foundations.
The Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO), together with the Fund for Scientific Research-FNRS (FRS - FNRS) and the Federal Fund for Scientific Research (FFWO/FFRS) is the legal successor by universal title to the former National Fund for Scientific Research (NFWO/FNRS).
