VUB and the China Scholarship Council (CSC) are teaming up to offer Chinese researchers doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships at VUB. Among all Belgian universities, VUB was the first to sign an agreement with CSC in 2005. VUB and CSC renewed their cooperation agreement in 2013 in order to provide more opportunities for PhD, jointly-supervised PhD (including double PhD degree), Post-doctoral fellows, and visiting scholars, based on positive feedback from students and promoters. .
