The Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts

The Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (Dutch: Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten, or KVAB) is the most renown learned society of science and arts in Belgium. Funded in 1772 by empress Maria Theresa and dissolved by Napoleon Bonaparte, the academy resumed its operation in 1816. Initially established as a solely French-speaking academy (Flemish was regarded as a peasant language and not an academic language). The first lectures in Flemish were given at the Ghent University in the middle of the 19th century.
Its key task is to think about and debate matters of social, scientific and artistic importance in an open and interdisciplinary manner. For more information on KVAB visit: www.kvab.be/en/about-us.
