📢 Presenting our BelCham Patron Member, Ghent University!
📰 History:
Founded in 1817, Gent University is now a top 100 university.
It is an open, pluralistic and socially engaged university. It is more than 200 years old, offers more than 200 programmes (including 64 English-taught master's programmes) and conducts in-depth research within a wide range of scientific domains. Their credo is "Dare to Think": a haven for courageous thinkers!
The Tech Lane Ghent Science Park is a vibrant ecosystem of international corporate R&D centers, public research institutes and high-tech growth enterprises, providing a stimulating environment to promote innovation and entrepreneurship. Next to the campuses in Ghent, Ostend, Courtrai and Bruges, they are also the first European university with a branch campus in Songdo, South Korea.
🇺🇸 US Plans:
Ghent University recently established a North America Platform, presided by Prof. Rik Van de Walle (Rector of Ghent University) underlining the institutional importance the university attaches to their collaboration with the United States and Canada. They are constantly looking for additional education and research collaboration opportunities in the region. Moreover, the North America Platform acts proactively in seeking and consolidating synergies with knowledge institutions and the business world.
By joining BelCham, Ghent University will underline their eagerness to engage with companies, institutions and alumni in the region.
🏆 Recent Achievements:
Ghent University remains the first Belgian university in Academic Ranking of World Universities (Shanghai Ranking) for the 14th year in a row. This year, the university ranks 84th in this list of over 2,500 research institutions worldwide.
As in previous years, Ghent University owes its position in this ranking mainly to its large number of scientific publications. The presence of scientists who are very often cited by others and the number of publications in the top journals Nature and Science also contribute to this.
