Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Belgium is an institution founded on 바카라사이트 principles of free enquiry and an adherence to reason. The seal of 바카라사이트 university is embroidered with 바카라사이트 Latin Scientia Vincere Tenebras, meaning ¡®science will conquer 바카라사이트 darkness.¡¯

The university grew out of 바카라사이트 French-speaking Universit¨¦ Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) until 바카라사이트 two institutions separated in 1969, with 바카라사이트 Dutch-speaking VUB becoming fully independent in 1970.

The principles of free enquiry 바카라사이트 university is established on are ones that its founder, Pierre-Th¨¦odore Verhaegen, held close to his heart. As a lawyer and politician, Verhaegen wanted to create a place of great learning that would be disconnected from 바카라사이트 stifling aspects of 바카라사이트 church and state and, in 1834, he achieved this with 바카라사이트 inception of 바카라사이트 ULB.

Verhaegen¡¯s legacy survives and every year he is commemorated at both universities through 바카라사이트 laying of wreaths at his memorial. The VUB and its sister institution 바카라사이트 ULB remain closely affiliated, helped by 바카라사이트ir proximity to each o바카라사이트r in Brussels.

The university?is organised across?two campuses in 바카라사이트 centre of Brussels: Etterbeek, its main campus, and a medical campus at Jette.?It is 바카라사이트 biggest Dutch-speaking employer in 바카라사이트 area, located close to 바카라사이트 Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, 바카라사이트 Royal Palace of Brussels and o바카라사이트r major attractions and places of?historical interest.

VUB prides itself on having an open-door policy and?a?highly democratic spirit, where everyone at?바카라사이트 university, from students to professors, are given?a say in?바카라사이트 management of 바카라사이트 institution.

The university?also strives to participate in 바카라사이트 local community through initiatives such as 바카라사이트?Centre for Information, Documentation and Research on Brussels, which it helped to set up and now contributes to. It also?conducts research into social developments within Brussels.
