Rankings don't reflect quality, but mainly reputation/ scale. If you control for scale, the "quality differences" between Flemish universities disappear. KU Leuven, UGent, UAntwerpen and VUB are absolute top compared to similar size universities brusselstimes.com/belgium/125974…

Day 3 excavations and in true Belgian style, it's raining! We are recovering the pig and lamb bones to take back to Brussels for analysis! Thanks for hosting us Préhistomuseum 👍🏻🔥

The documentary Testerep, showcasing the research of the eponymous FWO project led by our colleague Soetkin Vervust, was screened last Tuesday at VUB’s Pilar Box. The documentary was financed by VUB and Docville. More info about Testerep: testerep-project.be/en
