  1. ULB is a State-funded French speaking university that has its roots in the history of Belgium. The country became an independent state in 1830 and at that time its capital city, Brussels, had no university.

  21. The European Union is part of Belgians’ everyday life in a number of ways. A number of European institutions, for instance the European Commission and the European Council, employing thousands of European civil servants, are based in Brussels – which is therefore often called ‘the capital of Europe’. Brussels regularly hosts European Council meetings and summits, as well as plenary sessions of the European Parliament and meetings of European parliamentary committees. Belgium has always worked to widen and deepen European integration, and Belgian politicians have played a crucial role in the development of the European Union. All of this means that Europe is very close to Belgians’ hearts.
  22. Belgium also has more comic makers per square km than any other country in the world, even Japan. The Smurfs and the Snorks are also Belgian creations In 70 years of existence, 200 million books of "The Adventures of Tintin" have been sold worldwide.
  23. The saxophone was invented in Belgium, in the early 1840’s by Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), in the city of Dinant.
  24. The Big Bang theory originated in Belgium – it was a Belgian, the priest and physicist (apparently not a contradiction in terms) Georges Lemaitre, who first came up with what is now called the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe in 1927. The theory is often attributed to Edwin Hubble, although records show Lemaitre published a similar theory two years before Hubble. Ernest Solvay developed the Soda process for the manufacturing
  25. The magnificent works of the Old Flemish Masters, such as Peter Paul Rubens, Pieter Bruegel, Jan Van Eyck and Anthony Van Dyck, and those of more recent artists, like Paul Delvaux and René Magritte, are to be found today in museums and art galleries the world over
  26. The magnificent works of the Old Flemish Masters, such as Peter Paul Rubens, Pieter Bruegel, Jan Van Eyck and Anthony Van Dyck, and those of more recent artists, like Paul Delvaux and René Magritte, are to be found today in museums and art galleries the world over
  27. The international music scene is buzzing with names of talented Belgian artists, among them Stromae, Milow, Selah Sue and Hooverphonic. Tomorrowland is only one of the many festivals held in Belgium; some other popular festivals include Rock Werchter, Pukkelpop, and Couleur Café. Antwerp, Belgium’s second largest city, is the diamond capital of the world. More than half of the diamonds sold around the world pass through this sparkling city. Antwerp is the most populous city in Flanders, and its port is the second biggest in Europe.
  28. Belgians drink an average of 150 litres of beer per year per person Belgium has more varieties of beer per capita than any other country in the world. There are over 800 kinds of Belgian beers produced by some 180 breweries in the country, covering nearly all types of beer, including pale lager, lambic beer, abbey beer, Trappist, amber ale, blond ale, brown ale, strong ale, Flemish red ale, Flemish sour brown ale, India Pale Ale, Scotch ale, dubbel, tripel, saison, stout, and white beer. The Belgian-based multinational AB InBev is the world's largest brewer with nearly 25 percent global market share, and sells Belgian brands such as Stella Artois, Leffe and Hoegaarden. Other well known Belgian beers include Chimay, Duvel, Grimbergen, Gueuze, Kriek, Maredsesous, Orval, Rochefort, Rodenbach, Westmalle and Westvleteren.
  29. Belgium produces 220,000 tons of chocolate per year. That’s about 22kg of chocolate for each person in Belgium. The world's biggest chocolate selling point is Brussels National Airport. The most common type of waffles (those sold in the street) are known as Liège waffles, which are rich, dense and sweet, often containing pearls of sugar. The dessert waffle served in restaurants is the Brussels waffle. Perfectly rectangular in shape, it is lighter and crisper than Liège waffles, and is typically served with fruits, powdered sugar, ice cream and/or whipped cream on top.
