Students Discover the Power of Mathematics During VUB Masterclass

Thursday, November 14 – Recent research reveals that as much as 30% of the gross domestic product is linked to mathematical applications. As a result, mathematics graduates find opportunities in virtually every sector of the economy. Yesterday, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) organized a mathematics masterclass for students, where they discovered how mathematics and data science contribute to solving major societal challenges. Participants were also introduced to the updated Mathematics and Data Science program.

About Press - Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Vrije Universiteit Brussel is an internationally oriented university in Brussels, the heart of Europe. By providing excellent research and education on a human scale, VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society.

The World Needs You

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel assumes its scientific and social responsibility with love and decisiveness. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig – The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights... With Partnership, VUB is looking for joint actions to make the world a better place. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves. VUB is an ‘urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.
