The project for a Brussels Institute for Advanced Studies was launched in 2018 by the ULB and the VUB. The BrIAS acts as an incubator of ideas and aims to bring together the best researchers in the world to work for several months on the major societal issues related to sustainable development. It supports interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research as well as the development of its links with arts and culture. The BrIAS offers its fellows living and working spaces that allow them to meet, participate to seminars and workshops and forge links with all the university communities of the ULB and VUB.
