This Section, which mainly consists of two groups sharing common interests, is dedicated on the one hand to the natural sciences including agronomy, biology, chemistry, physical geography, geology, mineralogy, pedology, physics and on the other hand to human and veterinary medicine.
The Section of Natural and Medical Sciences is in charge of awarding two scientific prizes: the Lucien Cahen Prize for Geology and the Jean-Jacques and Berthe Symoens Prize for Tropical Limnology. The Floribert Jurion Fund has been set up in order to grant scholarships to agronomy or veterinary medical students.
