UCLouvain: a university open to the world
What is UCLouvain’s strength when it comes to mobility? Its involvement in numerous partnerships with international institutions all over the world, and its participation in European and international academic mobility networks. Of particular note is UCLouvain’s membership in the Euraxess network, a European Commission initiative that facilitates researcher mobility in 40 member and associate member countries and fosters research excellence across Europe.
UCLouvain is also attentive to developing its international appeal, toward the goal of increasing the proportion of talented international researchers in its research teams. The university aims to be an asset for researchers who choose UCLouvain to complete their studies, enhance their career and conduct quality research.
Experts by your side

Valodoc
Valo Doc gathers information concerning all aspects of the PhD: reception, training, research, experience, socio-professional integration, and much more.
Louvain Transfer
LouvainTransfer's mission is to develop and transform the results of research at UCLouvain into socio-economic impact.
Euraxess
If you are a PhD candidate, a holder of a thesis-based PhD, or an academic, the Euraxess initiative is an essential source of information to help you promote your mobility and develop your career!
A unique work and living environment
UCLouvain welcomes researchers on its several campuses to residential environments that combine green spaces, culture, sport activities and infrastructure, folklore and a humane atmosphere. They help create a unique experience in the heart of Europe!
The work environment is also ideal. Researchers work within a research institute and can draw on UCLouvain’s technology platforms. They also have direct access to the business world through UCLouvain’s science parks, which attract many businesses and start-ups that want to collaborate and thus benefit from research conducted at the university. In addition to immediately available resources, researchers have access to libraries and the online research publication tool.
