Our Partnerassociations
OSB-VUB collaborates with an extensive network of partner associations that are committed to strengthening science, humanism and liberality. These partner associations can be divided into three categories: regional associations , faculty associations and liberal sibling associations. Together they form a network that supports and strengthens our mission.
This collaboration between regional associations, faculty associations and liberal sibling associations creates a powerful network that makes science and liberality accessible to a wide audience. Their shared roots at VUB and commitment to humanistic values provide the basis for a fruitful collaboration.

Regional Associations
Regional associations have their roots at the Liberal University of Brussels (VUB) and focus on organizing local activities such as lectures, debates and events. They are usually under the direct care of OSB-VUB and receive central support while responding to the specific needs of their local community.
This collaboration between regional branches, faculty associations, and liberal sister associations creates a powerful network that makes science and liberal thought accessible to a wide audience. Their shared roots at the VUB and commitment to humanist values form the basis for a fruitful collaboration.
Faculty Associations
Faculty associations are affiliated with specific faculties or academic disciplines at VUB. They usually operate completely autonomously and focus on scientific or educational initiatives within their field. Thanks to their academic background, they bring depth and expertise to the range of activities and projects.
Liberal sibling associations
OSB-VUB also collaborates with several liberal sibling associations, which work to promote liberal values and humanistic principles in society. These associations, including the Humanist Alliance, deMens.nu and People & Science, share a common vision of a humane, inclusive and liberal society. They offer a wide range of activities, ranging from lectures and debates to scientific and cultural events, and regularly collaborate with OSB-VUB on joint projects.
