Pour atteindre son but désintéressé, l'association a notamment pour objet, tant en Belgique qu'à l'étranger, les activités suivantes : la recherche en collaboration effective, l'acquisition de connaissances, le transfert technologique, la formation, la veille technologique et la dissémination de résultats. Elle peut également entreprendre des recherches indépendantes où elle détermine les détails du projet, détient les résultats et assume le risque potentiel d'échec. L'association peut par ailleurs développer, en Belgique ou à l'étranger, seule ou en collaboration avec des tierces parties, directement ou par l'intermédiaire de tiers, toutes les activités économiques ou non-économiques qui contribuent directement ou indirectement à la réalisation de son but, y compris la sous-traitance en général et l'exploitation de tous droits intellectuels et de propriété industrielle ou commerciale y relatives, ainsi que dans les limites autorisées par la loi, des activités commerciales et lucratives, dont le produit sera de tout temps affecté intégralement à la réalisation desdits buts désintéressés. L'association peut s'approprier, donner ou prendre en location, ériger, aliéner ou échanger tous biens meubles ou immeubles, d'exploitation ou d'équipement si de telles opérations contribuent directement ou indirectement à la réalisation de son but. Elle peut prendre un intérêt par voie d'apport en espèces ou en nature, de fusion, de souscription, de participation, d'intervention financière ou autrement, dans toutes sociétés ou associations existantes ou à créer en Belgique ou à l'étranger, dont l'objet serait de nature à favoriser le développement de son but. Elle peut charger toute entreprise, tout laboratoire ou organisme de recherches, de collaborer à ses travaux et d'une façon générale, prendre toutes mesures utiles à la réalisation du but poursuivi en veillant à ce qu'elles ne soient pas en opposition avec l'intérêt d'un de ses membres.
