Vision
Since 1425, UCLouvain students, researchers and professors have expanded the limits of knowledge and addressed society’s 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’s 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.
