Vision and mission
Moving people and society
At the Faculty of Physical Education and Physiotherapy (LK), we promote the individual and societal importance of movement, health, well-being, rehabilitation and sport in all its facets, with an eye for inclusion and talent.
Our standard and advanced educational programmes are grounded in active and science-based knowledge development, to mould professionals with a critical eye, each with their own expertise. The principles of free research form the basis for this knowledge development.
We co-create and share knowledge with various partners, sectors and disciplines, and this within Brussels and (far) beyond.
This is how we realise impact on people and society.
