About the Chair

The King Willem-Alexander Chair was created at the University of Liège in June 2017 as the result of a collaboration between the ULiège and the Embassy of the Netherlands. It aims to promote the study of Dutch language, literature and culture, and allows the University of Liège to invite eminent Dutch academics of international stature to give scientific lectures and seminars.
