The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is based in the city of Brussels, the capital of Europe. It is a dynamic and modern University and offers quality education to more than 9000 students.

​

Internationalisation is one of the top priorities in the VUB strategic plan, which is why national and transnational collaboration projects are of crucial importance in ensuring innovative education and cutting-edge research. To that purpose, VUB makes every effort in creating strong partnerships with academic institutes, both regional and international organisations, industry, policymakers and governments.

​

Concerning EU funding and the Erasmus programme in particular, the VUB has been participating in the programme since its start in 1988. Over the past five years, VUB has been coordinator or partner in nearly 50 Erasmus+ projects.
