Mission & Goals
As a multicultural university with one third of students and researchers from abroad, international relations is a daily reality for the Université libre de Bruxelles, as Brussels itself, one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities. Its outward-looking position with regard to Europe and the world has resulted in a number of agreements, collaborations and special partnerships being set up with some of the world's top universities. GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH Four scientific Nobel Prizes, one Fields Medal, three Wolf Prizes and two Marie Curie Prizes are further evidence of the University's longstanding tradition of excellence. The Université libre de Bruxelles is an active member of the Research Area and is involved in more than 310 projects financed by the FP7, H2020 and Horizon Europe. Over the past few years, it has obtained several ERC grants to finance research in Medicine, Economics, Mathematics, Sociology, Physics, Artificial Intelligence and Political Science.
