The essential tasks of the "Koninklijke Academie voor Geneeskunde van België" include, next to the scientific aspects, the rules concerning the practice of medicine. Therefore a close cooperation with the authorities is an absolute must. In former days propositions and positive considerations were already formulated in that sense. We may think of the evaluation of the fast development of science, of the specialization in medical branches, genetics and informatics. On the one hand and on the other hand the need of a pluridisciplinarian approach associated with the medical development. With regard for existing advisory organs, the Academy's efforts must offer an added value, considering the control, the reevaluation and the reconsideration of problems. That is the reason why the Academy should be informed about these institutions and their mandates. The fundamental redistribution of the federal competences concerning public health is also extremely important. Finally a closer dialogue with our sister-institution, the "Académie royale de Médecine de Belgique" is indispensable to the consequent national influence and to our common international echo.
“比利时皇家医学科学院”的基本任务，除了科学方面之外，还包括有关医学实践的规则。因此，与当局密切合作是绝对必要的。过去就已经在这方面提出了建议并进行了积极的思考。我们可以想想对科学快速发展、医学分支的专业化、遗传学和信息学的评估。一方面，另一方面是与医学发展相关的多学科方法的需求。考虑到现有的咨询机构，学院的努力必须提供附加值，考虑到对问题的控制、重新评估和重新思考。这就是为什么学院应该了解这些机构及其任务。联邦公共卫生权限的根本重新分配也极其重要。最后，与我们的姐妹机构“比利时皇家医学科学院”进行更密切的对话，对于随之而来的国家影响力和我们共同的国际反响来说是不可或缺的。
