The ULB and VUB proudly present their ambitious project to establish an international knowledge hub in the heart of Europe. With the creation of the new, smart, and zero-energy Learning and Innovation Center (LIC), we aim to unite students, professors, researchers, alumni, corporate partners, and decision-makers around cutting-edge scientific resources. By actively breaking barriers and building bridges, we foster a community where knowledge thrives and connections grow.

INNOVATION Designed to inspire innovation, the LIC empowers academic research, fosters educational breakthroughs, and addresses societal challenges. Its advanced infrastructure and extended opening hours make it a hub for creative problem-solving. By leveraging shared knowledge and collaborating with external partners, the ULB and VUB demonstrate their commitment to becoming a leading force at the crossroads of education, research, and the corporate world.

CENTER Open, informal, and flexible, the LIC is a vibrant meeting place where connections are made and ideas flourish. It embodies a forward-thinking approach, combining shared expertise with external insights to establish a point of reference for education, research, and societal engagement. At the LIC, we bring people and ideas together to shape the future.
