Vision
Since 1425, UCLouvain students, researchers and professors have expanded the limits of knowledge and addressed society鈥檚 challenges through the relentless pursuit of quality research.
An authoritative force in an uncertain world, UCLouvain promotes access to quality education for all. Innovation is the common thread of its education and research activities. University research imparts nuance and perspective to a world often blinded by the here and now.
While internationally renowned, UCLouvain remains firmly rooted in its local community. Its involvement in regional development and its international influence are mutually reinforcing.
In September 2021, the UCLouvain community designed and adopted the Horizon 600 Strategic Plan. Both specific and wide-ranging, it responds to the university community鈥檚 needs and invites every one of its members to get involved. It also mobilises numerous local, regional, national, European and international partnerships.
The plan is deployed through five priority action plans:
- student support;
- quality of life and well-being at work;
- internationalisation;
- economic, ecological and social transition;
- open education and open science.
Values
Through the Horizon 600 Strategic Plan four strategic orientations ensure a university that is:
- open;
- innovative;
- collaborative;
- and socially committed.
Faculty members enjoy academic freedom as enshrined in the Belgian Constitution听: they are free to search for truth by establishing facts scientifically, without being impeded by prevailing standards.
UCLouvain is a cosmopolitan, intellectual and friendly community whose diversity stimulates exchanges between people of different backgrounds and with the wider world, in a spirit of thoughtful discussion and mutual enrichment.
The Christian tradition, which UCLouvain shares with KU Leuven, is a living heritage and the driving force behind an authentic pluralism听aimed at benefitting and respecting all persons regardless of their personal convictions.
