Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)

Every month we are introducing one of the university members of UNeECC to learn more about their mission, academic activities, research fields and projects. This time we take a closer look at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium.


Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) Up Close

The VUB is an 'Urban Engaged University': our university connects. We forge links between our people - students, staff and stakeholders -, society and the wider world. We have always been urban because of our location in Brussels, capital of Belgium and Europe. And we are engaged in accordance with our principles of radical humanism and open, critical thinking. Through excellent research and qualitative education on a human scale, the VUB wants to make an active and engaged contribution to a better society.
