Mission: UCLouvain wants to enable all those who wish to do so - young people leaving secondary education or adults engaged in working life - to train and acquire the skills useful for their development and professional activities. In order to guarantee the quality of training, pedagogical innovation is closely linked to the development and updating of programmes. Research University, UCLouvain takes its place in an international community based on the recognition of the excellence of our contributions to the development and transmission of knowledge. UCLouvain fosters an environment conducive to scientific creativity, valorisation activities and a balance between the functions of researcher and teacher. Through its regional anchorage in seven locations in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and its two university hospitals, through the impact of its research and teaching, through the alumni network that it dynamises, the creation of spin-offs, the development of science parks and incubators or development cooperation, UCLouvain contributes to the development of a society that ensures the well-being of all citizens.

Vision: UCLouvain intends to be a stable player in a world in question. It favours accessibility for all to quality education and makes innovation the common thread of its activities, both in (or: in terms of) training and in research. It promotes dialogue between its involvement in regional development and its international influence, the one nourishing the other. Through the research carried out within the company, it brings complexity and hindsight to a world that favours immediacy.
