Research in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters is highly diversified. It aims to take a fresh look at the cultural productions of yesterday and today. Scientific projects on a national and international scale make it one of the main pillars of the Faculty's influence in Belgium and abroad. With a view to maintaining contact with the teaching provided in the various sections of the faculty, research was initially developed at departmental level, before being structured around research institutes and research centers attached to them.
