VLIR
VLIR – The Flemish Interuniversity Council The ‘Vlaamse Interuniversitaire Raad’ or VLIR was established in 1976. VLIR represents the Flemish universities, serves as a platform to facilitate cooperation between the Flemish universities, and interacts with the Flemish government in all matters concerning higher education policy. Topics such as education and research policy, university management and administration are addressed. Universities are closely intertwined with a broad array of external shareholders, with whom they interact and cooperate. They face challenges similar to those of society as a whole, and attempt to

has concentrated on improved student orientation in order to facilitate the transition from school to university. Master programs are developed to secure a smooth transition into the labor market. The valorization of research and the communication of its results to all relevant stakeholders is another point of attention at VLIR. The Flemish universities engage in developing common measures concerning diversity, equal opportunities, and gender balance for their students and personnel. This has resulted in several interuniversity action plans. VLIR is also the forum where the Flemish universities synchronize quality assurance on an interuniversity level. Internationalization strategies are discussed at VLIR, and recommendations are formulated to ministers of education and innovation and the government. In short: VLIR is the place where the Flemish universities debate, interact, learn from each other, collaborate, and formulate shared solutions regarding all of these topics.

Threefold mission of Excellence
The universities of Flanders have a threefold mission: education, research, and service to society. In every one of these domains they pledge excellence.

The universities perform this task on a dual level: by contractual research with the industry, the creation of spin-offs, and incubation centers, their goal is to bring their knowledge to the market and to valorize it economically. However, the Flemish universities also strive to be active and constructive discussion partners in matters that concern society as a whole.

‘University of Antwerp operates on
a human scale. We foster the nexus
between research and education,
and we strive to maintain a healthy
balance between academic freedom
and research focus. The attractive city
life of Antwerp in combination with
first-rate research and education make
University of Antwerp a wonderful
place to be for everyone, from every
individual student to each member of
staff. We want University of Antwerp
to be known as a growing and
dynamic institution with a
solid reputation that leaves
its mark not only on its
students and staff, but also
on the Antwerp region and
far beyond.’
Thinking must never submit itself, neither to a dogma,
nor to a party, nor to a passion, nor to an interest, nor to a preconceived idea, nor to anything whatsoever, except to the facts themselves, because for it to submit to anything else
would be the end of its existence. +HQUL3RLQFDUp

‘At VUB students cannot only
expect to receive a thorough and
comprehensive education. They
are also prepared for life after
graduation: VUB pays explicit
attention to multilingualism,
internationalisation, and dealing
with diversity. Additionally, VUB
encourages entrepreneurship in
students, with the aid of its career
centre. VUB-students enjoy the
multiple attractions of a metropolitan
student-life in the capital city
of Europe. VUB is not the largest
university in Flanders, but that is not
its ambition: it aspires to remain a
university that operates on a
student-friendly scale.’

regional and international collaborations and commitments.

in innovation and quality, most notably in the way it is educating
its students - through a mixture of lectures, tutorials in small groups and intensive guidance. Furthermore, education at UHasselt is not RQO\DLPHGDWJDWKHULQJNQRZOHGJHEXWDOVRDWFRDFKLQJVSHFLÀF skills which students need once they enter the labor market.

Strategic Innovation
From the very beginning, UHasselt has strived to be an active partner
in securing economic growth and innovation in the Limburg region.
It is not an island of knowledge. Hasselt University is well aware that innovation is not a linear process, but rather a web-like process in which all kinds of actors - knowledge institutions, the government, and of course, companies - work together, support and inspire each other.

‘UHasselt is a regional university, in
the sense that it has the ambition to
play an even more significant role
in and for the Limburg region. At
the same time, however, UHasselt is
also looking beyond the borders of
Limburg. The university has set up
many partnerships and collaborations
within the Meuse-Rhine region.
Researchers and students
from all over the world
come to UHasselt, and
UHasselt also stimulates
its own students to
expand their horizons.
International student mobility is
strongly encouraged. In this sense,
Hasselt University also serves as an
‘international hub’ for the region.’
