The birth of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the wake of the political struggles between Flanders and Wallonia, with the act of 28 May 1970, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the Université Libre de Bruxelles officially became two separate legal, administrative and scientific entities.
The Vrije Universiteit Brussel was asked to form a comprehensive flemish-speaking university in Brussels.
At the start we would have approximately 3000 students and the goal set was to reach 5000 one day.
Today we have 9000 students in 8 faculties.

Short history of the financing models
* from 1970 till 1991 sum per program + sum per student
* from 1991 till 1999 previous total fixed + sum per extra student (weighted per discipline)
* from 1999 till 2002 smaller adaptations trying to equalize the sum per student over the universities
* from 2002 till 2007 frozen envelope to give the universities the chance to rationalize – failed
* from 2008 a new model largely based on output

Action needed: PhD and Ma diploma’s
* Productivity of academic staff concerning PhD’s has to rise (mainly in disciplines delivering already many PhD’s but with a weak score in comparison with Flanders in general and secondly in the Human Sciences in global)
* Solutions have to be found for the understaffing of faculties delivering many master degrees as compared to faculties with many PhD’s but delivering fewer master degrees

Second money stream
If not all, most money for fundamental research comes from the Flemish government through the FWO (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek -Fund for Scientific Research).
We will use the FWO as the proxy for the second money stream

CONCLUSIONS
• Minimal requirements for the individual research dossier
• Incentives for more PhD diploma’s in certain disciplines
• Incentives for more & good FWO (SFR)-projects within the domain of the human sciences
• Forming of centres of gravity• Streamline the education supply & heighten
the obligation for research• PhD in 4 years
