The ULB renews its privileged partnership with the universities of Cambridge and Oxford

On April 4, 2019 the Université libre de Bruxelles renewed its privileged partnership with the two British universities, launched a decade ago. Since the first Memoranda of Understanding were signed, dozens of collaborative research projects have brought together teams from these three universities. Students, researchers and academics have travelled across the Channel in both directions. These collaborations have greatly benefited from the support of the Fondation Wiener-Anspach. The renewal of the Memoranda of Understanding celebrated these vibrant partnerships.
