Flemish Interuniversity Council (VLIR)

The Flemish Interuniversity Council (Vlaamse Interuniversitaire Raad/VLIR) was established in 1976 to improve mutual understanding and cooperation amongst our universities. VLIR operates as a thinktank and advises the Flemish government on all policy aspects higher education is involved in. University leaders and specialised staff members collaborate with VLIR to create consensus on a wide range of topics including degree structure, research management, quality assurance, student services, academic governance and so on.
