It bears the name of Ludwig von Mises, one of the most prominent libertarian economists of the whole XX century, and one of the main representatives of the Austrian School. The Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe primarily aims at: ❖ Exchanging and promoting a free and open economy with a particular focus on the economic ideas of “the Austrian School" ❖ Bridging the gap between “Brussels” and the European citizens and between Eurocrats and Eurosceptics ❖ Acting as an interface between top academics, senior business leaders, respected media commentators, and leading politicians across the EU and in Brussels ❖ Teaching young professionals and students from all over the world to learn about the workings of the European Institutions ❖ Connecting world-wide liberals and organizations at national and international levels …and what we do Since its foundation in 2002, the Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe has successfully organized a variety of conferences, symposia, discussions, targeted dinner debates and lunch debates, discussing topics like: The growing role of the EU; Knowledge & Innovation; Transatlantic Relations; Tax Competition; Better Regulation; and Islam and the EU, FTT, Banking Union and Banking and Monetary Policy. LVMI Europe has several important publications to its credit. The Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe is a non-partisan think-tank fostering an open and free society and dedicated to bridging the gap between believers in the free market across artificial boundaries that often divide academic, business, and political circles. Ludwig Von Mises Institute-Europe has as the sole objective to creating prosperity for every individual, while initiating new and unaccustomed ways of analysis and debate in order to ensure Europe’s future prosperity and security in the global village. Members include former Prime Ministers, MEPs, former commissioners, key politicians, senior academics, business leaders and prominent journalists. Educational Program ◼ Aims at teaching young professionals and students from all over the world to learn the workings of European Institutions 2 ◼ Exchange and promote principal ideas and merits of Classical liberalism, with a particular focus on the Austrian School; During the whole year the LVMI Europe offers internship positions to students from universities all over Europe and beyond. Interns get the chance to fully develop skills that are essential for organizing events, writing research papers, and editing the newsletters, website management, database management and network management. ◼ Having a good cooperation with universities is very important for the Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe. This helps us with research work and allows us to give interns a chance to develop their skills at the Institute. We maintain contracts with the Universities of Leyden, Bologna, Cagliari, Lille, Tampere and Brussels (VUB/Vesalius). This does not mean that all of our interns are exclusively European: in the past we have had interns from Eastern-European countries, China, India, Tanzania, United States, Canada….as well. ◼ Ludwig von Mises Institute-Europe firmly believes that the international character of her internship policy allows for a better contribution to the discussion on a free and open society. For the interns, the knowledge and skills they develop at the Institute give a boost to their future prospects; many of them find a job very quickly and the others went back to their university with fresh ideas.

Het Liberaal Archief wil als privaatrechtelijke archiefinstelling meer inzetten op haar algemene publiekswerking en op een meer klantgestuurde organisatie. Om dit doel te bereiken wil ze sterker de nadruk leggen op samenwerkingsverbanden tussen de organisatie en het brede publiek voor bijvoorbeeld het valoriseren van archieven. In deze verhandeling gaan we na waar het Liberaal Archief zich in dit proces bevindt.

The basic question we had was our concern for a sustainable prosperity for future generations. The families and entrepreneurs that took the initiative to set up Itinera were worried about the focus and performance of Belgian policy-making. We no longer wanted to be observers, we wanted to contribute to better outcomes for the whole Belgian society. Itinera managed to surprise many with a series of remarkable books, publications and events, boasting in-depth analyses and robust recommendations from independent academics with an outstanding reputation in their respective fields. It inspired a great number of entrepreneurs to support its work. Authorities need a flux of creative and evidence-based ideas, in order to tackle the issues they are faced with. And that is exactly what Itinera did: it formulates ideas that are ready for impact. Today, authorities would tend to agree that the country needs entrepreneurial initiative that creates societal value, jobs and prosperity.

  • What Is at Stake with Street Prostitution at Yser? Exploring an Open
    Faculteit Sociale Wetenschappen Politieke Wetenschappen What is at stake with street prostitution at Yser? Exploring an Open Approach for the Development of a Multi-Dimensional Problem Construction Proefschrift voorgelegd tot het behalen van de graad van doctor in de sociale wetenschappen aan de Universiteit Antwerpen te verdedigen door Kristien Gillis Promotor: Prof. dr. Petra Meier Antwerpen, 2017 ii Members of the doctoral committee: Prof. dr. Petra Meier Prof. dr. Stijn Oosterlynck Prof. dr. Joyce Outshoorn Members of the doctoral jury: Prof. dr. Maarten Loopmans Prof. dr. Wouter Van Dooren Cover design: Nieuwe Mediadienst, Universiteit Antwerpen. The cover picture stems from the Usus/Usures Catalogue, developed by architect collective Rotor. The Usus/Usures project, exploring “wear as a reaction to use in architecture”, was presented in the Belgian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2010. This particular picture was taken in the Yser neighbourhood. The collective explains: In Belgium, the lower part of a wall is traditionally treated differently than the rest of the wall. As it is more exposed to mud and other liquids as well as to street activities, the wall is often covered by a plinth, generally made of blue limestone which is relatively hard-wearing and is extracted locally. Similarly, a cast iron tube (called a “shoe”) is used for the lower part of the rainwater downpipe, rather than the zinc tube used for the upper part. These devices offer great resistance to various street activities. For even without intending to cause damage, the human body can prove to be particularly corrosive. The traces of wear on the plinth shown in this picture reveal the activity of prostitutes leaning against it, on a strategic corner in the centre of Brussels.
