On April 25, Waseda University opened its new European hub for students and researchers, located on the campus of ULB (Universite libre de Bruxelles) in Brussels.

Waseda was founded not to gain benefits for just one country, but to seek harmony of East and West, for the good of the world. Brussels and the EU are becoming more and more important in academia, so the new office will help deepen Waseda’s relations with Belgium and the rest of Europe.

This is an important moment for Waseda and ULB. It is an historic and organic decision by one of Japan’s best universities. The office will be the best link between our faculty, students and alumni.
