In 2013, Pr Belpomme was given the chair of the Francqui Foundation in the form of four scientific lectures that he gave in Gembloux within the framework of the Leuven University activities (Belgium).
The Francqui Foundation was founded in 1932 "to further the development of higher education and scientific research in Belgium". The foundation is a private foundation that aims at encouraging the prestige of disinterested fundamental research.
