The slogan of the University of Liège (ULiège) reflects its role and ambition over the past 200 years. That is to continually create new knowledge, share it broadly, incorporate in student's training, and contribute positively to the prosperity, democratic vitality, and harmonious evolution of our societies. Rather than follow and adapt to changes globally, ULiège seeks to anticipate and prepare for change. The objective is embedded in its entire community of professors and researchers, administrative staff, students, alumni, and immense academic and scientific, socio-economic and cultural, public, and governmental networks, not only in Liège and its region but also in Belgium, Europe, and throughout the world. Knowledge is not solely produced at universities, but they are responsible for integrating, evaluating, and giving knowledge meaning in the collective interest. Hence, universities increasingly find their role in digital societies, where the speed of data creation (the raw materials of knowledge) is accelerating at an impressive rate. ULiège's mission is to be an integral part of this creative and innovative dynamic and to be a driver and positive contributor to change in our world. The University of Liège is spread over four cosmopolitan campuses that combine urban life dynamism with the charms of a green environment. Its 23,000 students form a strong community animated by an intense cultural, sports, and associative life.

It is influential in academic research. In 2005, the heads of HEC Liege and Liege University joined forces to create a business school of international stature in Liege. This union brought about an innovation in the French-speaking Belgian academic world and has set an example for other fusions between Institutes for Higher Education (Hautes Ecoles) and Universities. Since then, the impact of HEC Liege on its environment, at the heart of a fully-fledged University established in 1817, has been growing continually: It attracts numerous international students to Liège: 33% of Master students (the courses are taught in English), represent more than 60 nations. Researchers work in international networks, and the School is registered in several procedures for international accreditations. This openness to an international dimension is the back-drop to education, which shapes tomorrow's managers. Simultaneously, the School is doing everything possible to create a stable connection with Liège so that its graduates may participate in the growth of companies in our region. Thanks to the BSIS (Business School Impact Survey), organized by HEC Liège in cooperation with the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), the School has been able to measure its crucial impact on the region and to define the central role it plays in the economic fabric in the broadest sense. Thus, HEC's initial vocation has expanded. HEC was created in 1898 by business enterprises, on the initiative of "Union des Charbonnages, Mines et Usines Metallurgiques de la Province de Liege" and with the patronage of the "Federation des Associations Commerciales et Industrielles Liegeoises" to fill the need for training in times when the industry was booming. Over the years, it acquired several accreditations, which allowed it to issue different degrees. 1993 marked a critical stage in its development: HEC Liege moved to the very heart of Liege city, on the historical Beauregard site, into a complex of buildings of almost 10 800 ft2, and designed by architects Bruno Albert and Camille Ghysen. The integration of restored ancient buildings into a contemporary design, by using the shapes and materials chosen, was a great success. The restoration of the XVIIth century convent, a listed building, is the only pilot project in Wallonia that was selected for safeguarding as European architectural heritage by the European Commission.
