To support researchers and their families relocating to Belgium, VIB co-founded two international schools offering affordable, high-quality education near its research centers in Ghent and Leuven. These schools complement existing options in Brussels and Antwerp, making it easier for international families to settle in and find the right learning environment close to home. 

The VIB International Grants Office supports researchers in securing competitive funding through personalized assistance, specialized training, and strategic resources. 

A thriving research institute relies on a diverse team with a wide range of talents, expertise, and skills. This diversity requires a thoughtful and structured approach to recruitment and selection. At VIB, we are committed to transparent, inclusive, and merit-based hiring practices.
