Université Libre de Bruxelles

The Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) supports e-learning through its LMS WebCT, called Université Virtuelle

Founded on the principle of free-thinking analysis which advocates independent reasoning and the rejection of dogma in all its forms, the ULB has remained true to its original ideals – an institution free from any form of control which is committed to defending democratic humanist values, an approach it also extends to the way that it is run.

The ULB straightforwardly mentions that "as a private university, which is recognised and subsidised by the Belgian authorities, the ULB receives government funding today to the tune of 60% of its overall budget."
