Organisation

Founded in 1425, the Catholic University of Leuven (K.U.Leuven)
is the oldest university in the Low Countries, and in the 16th century
it was one of the most prominent intellectual centres of the Western
world, harbouring famous scientists and humanists such as Erasmus,
Vives, Vesalius, Dodoens, Mercator and many more. The Flemish-speaking
and French-speaking sections that had gradually emerged in the 20th century
became separate daughters by the 1970s.

Today, K.U.Leuven is a centre of learning, originating in the symbiosis of teaching and research, young promising scholars and senior academics, intellectual resources and opportunities, etc.Within this university environment, the interplay between teaching and research is the core mission of the organisation: teaching is research-based and research benefits from the continual throughput of well trained, talented scholars. With more than 3000 researchers, senior academics as well as PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers, K.U.Leuven covers all of the traditional academic domains in humanities, medical sciences and exact sciences. From a management point of view, it is a real challenge to promote research initiatives in all these domains in a balanced way, and to offer (financial) opportunities to the research units to elaborate their ideas.
