Université de Mons

Since its creation, through its research and close ties it has forged with industry, the University of Mons is the perfect partner for the redevelopment and economic recovery of the region.Its Research centres, Multitel, Materia Nova and Belgian Ceramic Research Centre, which belong to the university, as well as university spin-off and start-up companies that surround it, are mostly located in the Initialis Science Park on the outskirts of Mons.

UMONS provides its researchers and students the resources of nine libraries. In addition to the Central Library whose collections are focused on the social sciences (history, philology, fine art,…) and that also shelters the UMONS heritage collections (handwritten, incunable, old printed papers, charts and maps,…), there are specialised faculty libraries.
