History

The University of Liège: a bicentennial history that has its roots in the middle ages.

The University of Liège doesn't have a "long" history: many universities in Europe date back to the middle ages. Nevertheless, ULiège also has ties to that period. And for two centuries, its rich and abundant history is also that of the Europe after the Treaty of Vienna, then with the history of Belgium and its scientific, social and cultural, economic, and industrial destiny. Today, ULiège relies on 200 years of creation and transmission of knowledge to be unfurled between international openness and regional engagement.
