Chairs
A chair is the ideal way to create a partnership between companies or organisations and VUB. It is the number-one method to broaden the research of your company with the help of the research team of VUB. Moreover, VUB has an opportunity to test insights and hypotheses in practice thanks to its cooperation with companies. A win-win for both parties!

Honorary doctorates
Since 1978, personalities from the most diverse backgrounds have received honorary doctorates from VUB, in recognition of their efforts within their field of study and for our society. There are also some humane scientists among them!
Fellows
Fellows are business leaders, executives, policy makers, journalists and other socially meaningful people, who make their expertise available at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. In this way, they open doors that would otherwise remain closed. Fellows and Honorary Fellows are linked to each faculty and new Fellows are chosen every year. Our faculty already has more than 40!
