We all kept hoping, family and friends, VUB students and staff, for a positive outcome. But alas: on Sunday we got word that the body of Frederik Vanclooster, master student in computer science, was found.
“Our thoughts go out to Frederik’s family and friends, and everyone that knew him”, says rector Caroline Pauwels. “This loss touches us all. It’s in moments like these that our university community comes together to support each other.”

In June 2020, the contract between the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Confucius Institute will expire, and the VUB will not renew the contract.

The VUB is, however, open to new collaborations with Chinese universities, scientists and students when this does not endanger academic freedom and independence.
