Leuven’s university is celebrating its 600th anniversary this year. To mark that achievement, the university decided to go all out for art. Eight new artworks by national and international artists have popped up in Leuven’s parks, squares, and streets. They address the most important scientific issues of our time. How colonial is our knowledge? Is medicine truly for all, or just for a select few? Head out with our walking leaflet or app and find them all.
Eight poems are also part of the art and science trail and can be read in large letters on and around some iconic university buildings from now on.
