Leuven is a compact, safe and vibrant university city located 25 km (16 miles) east of Brussels. Home to KU Leuven (est. 1425), one of Europe’s top research universities, the city combines medieval architecture with a dynamic, international atmosphere. Recently nominated European Innovation Capital (iCapital) by unanimous decision, Leuven is a leading centre for science, technology, exciting start-ups and global industry. Leuven’s central position also places it at the heart of Europe’s most active academic, political, and economic region, with easy access to Brussels and its EU and NATO institutions.
