We are an Urban Engaged University
We are Vrije Universiteit Brussel. For more than 50 years, we have been committed to providing solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. How do we achieve this? Through high-quality research, customised education and a strong social drive. We anchor ourselves in Brussels and Europe and work according to the principles of the Enlightenment: critical thinking, free enquiry, and humanism. That's our way of making the world a better place. #TheWorldNeedsYou
Public programme
Creating more impact in society – that is what VUB wants to do, by sharing its scientific knowledge with everyone who believes science, critical thinking and dialogue are an important first step to change the world. We do this through a broad programme for various target groups in Brussels and Flanders: from lectures to exhibitions, from books to plays. We can count on our scientists, alumni and numerous partners to create this inspirational programme.

EUTOPIA, the European university of tomorrow
EUTOPIA, Imagine an open and multicultural university, with campuses all over Europe. A university where students, academics and staff can move freely between European cities to study and conduct scientific research. A university that, for this reason, brings communities from all over Europe together to tackle today's challenges. This is what we, along with 9 other European universities, are striving for by 2025.
