KU Leuven is a research-intensive, internationally oriented university that carries out both fundamental and applied scientific research.

In this regard, the university actively works together with research partners in Belgium and abroad and provides its students with an academic education that is based on high-quality scientific research.

In principle, junior researchers are appointed as an assistant professor on the tenure track for a period of 5 years. At the end of this period and a positive evaluation, they are permanently appointed (or tenured) as an associate professor.
