The VUB and ULB are celebrating a double birthday: 185 years together, 50 years of cooperation. The link between the two universities has never been so strong, and together we are closely linked with Brussels than ever.
Our hyper-diverse and multilingual city is a perfect living lab for students and researchers to make maximum use of. And the opposite is also true: Brussels can take advantage of our scientific expertise. This celebratory year is taking place under the banner 'vrij denken san frontières - penser librement zonder grenzen' - free thinking without borders. Thought must never be shut away, either in an ivory tower or on campus, not behind one border or another. Borders are there to be crossed.
As universities we share not online a rich but a common dream of the future. We invite you to share this dream with us during our special year.
