The University of Antwerp is a young and dynamic university, which through its free and innovative research, student-centred academic teaching and targeted service to society, aims to make a valuable impact on the development, dissemination and use of scientific knowledge. By doing so, UAntwerp continues to strengthen its commitment to the further development of a sustainable world and a democratic and inclusive society founded on human rights. ‘Let’s shape the future' is therefore the university's - logical - slogan. Students not only become experts in their fields, but also critical and independent global citizens who are empowered to find their own way. For the university, they are co-creating partners. Researchers are given time and space to engage in creative and groundbreaking research which aims for international scientific and societal impact. The university focusses on its strengths, with continued attention to global research and embeddedness within teaching. The University of Antwerp promotes public debate and visibly embodies its values through unifying science communication and targeted networking, both regionally and internationally. Via YUFE, the university is helping to build the foundations of a European university. The development of knowledge and expertise comes about in partnership with government entities, private partners and citizens, with a focus on applications, either with or without a profit motive. In doing so, the university actively seeks opportunities for valorising knowledge in a sustainable and socially valuable way. www.uantwerpen.be
