The MOU
With the signing of the Memoranda of Understanding, the ULB will renew its privileged partnerships with the two British universities launched a decade ago. Since the first signing of the Memoranda of Understanding, dozens of collaborative research projects have brought together teams from these three universities.
Students, researchers, and academics alike have travelled across the Channel in both directions. These collaborations have greatly benefitted from the support of the Fondation Wiener Anspach.
The renewal of the Memoranda of Understanding will be the occasion to celebrate these vibrant partnerships, which build bridges for the future.
