It is possible to become a partner of NARILIS, even if you are not a founding member.

The application must be made on an individual basis, with a clear aim at committing to develop interdisciplinary research, in collaboration with other NARILIS members.  The application must also be based on at least one research project and will be supported by a NARILIS member.

In practice, the future associate member must contact a member of NARILIS, who will become his “sponsor”, and develop a collaborative research project.  The sponsor will submit the application and project to the Collegian Board.  The Collegian Board will evaluate the scientific quality and any possible conflict of interest.

If the application is admissible, the associate membership will be given for 2 years, renewable for 5 years if the project carries on.  Before becoming associate member, the sponsor will initiate an application for the title of “external consultant” at the CHU UCL Mont-Godinne  Dinant or “scientific collaborator” at the University of Namur by following the procedure in force.

Please send your application to:

University of Namur - NARILIS, c/o Prof. Stéphane Lucas, rue de Bruxelles, 61 - 5000 Namur - Belgium.
