On November 24th, on the occasion of the Philippe Wiener Lecture delivered by Professor Pierre Vanderhaeghen, the University of Cambridge and the Université libre de Bruxelles renewed the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2009.
Professor Serge Schiffmann, Vice-Rector Research at the ULB, and Dr Jennifer Barnes, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for International Strategy, signed the renewal of this privileged partnership in the presence of the academic authorities of the University of Cambridge and of His Excellency Guy Trouveroy, Ambassador of Belgium to the United Kingdom.
The afternoon continued with Professor Vanderhaghene’s lecture, attended by students and researchers, among which were some of our fellows. See also “Cambridge and Brussels reaffirm ties”, a news story featured on the website of the University of Cambridge.
