Interdisciplinary Research group - Freemasonry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In recent years, the study of phenomenon Freemasonry has clearly gained momentum. Several new research centers and specialized chairs have seen the light at various European universities. The number of colloquia around the theme is getting bigger. Researchers in this field are beginning to become more and more profoundly visible as a close research community, especially at the European level. The involvement of several VUB professors and ...
Foundations of the Exact Science Vrije Universiteit Brussel
From the birth of science, mathematics and physics have played a major role and their evolution has always been closely connected. Pythagoras, Aristotle, Ezeno, Euclid, Archimedes, etc . . . till our times, Riemann, Hilbert, Einstein, Poincare, Heisenberg, Schrodinger, Dirac, Von Neumann, Godel, etc . . . Have all wandered between mathematics and theoretical physics, investigating the fundamental scientific problems of their times. In this ...
Formal and Computational Linguistics (ComForT), Leuven KU Leuven
The Research Group conducts theoretical and descriptive research in the fields of formal and computational linguistics, a.o. with a view to its application in language and speech technology. The central aim is to acquire insight into the complexity of linguistic knowledge by studying the formal properties of the structures and rules that constitute the architecture of language and grammar.
The formal modelling of this ...
