Join us at VUB and immerse yourself …in a city that dares you …..to dream, explore, and innovate. 

When you are part of the VUB, you are also part of Brussels, the city that dares you to be yourself. We make it easy: we are a city of originals and originators; our history is full of adventurers who follow in the footsteps of innovators and are not afraid to tread uncharted paths. 

Brussels is a perfectly imperfect city of fertile ground and fluid thinking. We are not just the capital of Europe, we are its capital of conviviality. That means you can look forward to encounters with decision-makers and future shapers, with art, science, and sensation. As an Urban Engaged University, we have a close connection with the capital by offering classes in the heart of the city. Connect with us through our public program in Brussels and Flanders.
