ONDERZOEK

Kwaliteit en kwaliteitszorg zijn basisbegrippen in het wetenschappelijk onderzoek aan de Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Dat blijkt onder meer uit het aantal publicaties van onze vorsers in wetenschappelijke tijdschriften met hoge impact. Bekijk hieronder piekprestaties die ver boven het gemiddelde liggen met een overzicht van onze lopende Strategic Research programs, Excellence Grants en toppublicaties is high-impact magazines Nature en Science.
