As a tool dedicated to overseas countries the Academy contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge about overseas regions. It acts as a meeting place for communication between North and South and represents an independent reference. It also promotes research and the dissemination of knowledge concerning overseas countries, both inside these countries and within Belgium.
The Academy’s specificity is multidisciplinary since it is made up of three sections which group Belgian and foreign specialists in "Human sciences" (Section 1), "Natural and Medical Sciences" (Section 2) and applied sciences called "Technical Sciences" (Section 3). This leads to interaction between anthropologists, historians, sociologists, linguists, zoologists, botanists, geographers, doctors and veterinarians, civil engineers, and agronomists, who come together during working sessions aimed at organizing different congresses or discussing specific projects.
