Centre d'Études Phénoménologiques (Centre for Phenomenological Studies) is a research centre set up within the auspices of the ISP by means of an agreement signed on 8 October 1973 between Husserl-Archief te Leuven, a non-profit organisation with its headquarters at the Hoger Instituut voor Wijsbegeerte (KULeuven), on the one hand, and the UCL, on the other.                                                                 

In cooperation with the Husserl-Archief te Leuven (HA), the main objectives of the CEP are :

  • make the Husserl archive documents available to researchers at UCL from the Husserl-Archief,

  • enhance the Husserl Nachlass by editing and translating texts,

  • participate in the co-management of the Phaenomenologica collection (the 200th volume was published in 2010), founded in the 1950s,

  • promote research not only into Husserl's thought but also into phenomenological studies in the broadest sense as well as the phenomenological approach to philosophical problems.
