The Foundation for Critical Thinking, together with CRITHINKEDU and University Colleges Leuven Limburg (UCLL), will host the 39th Annual International Conference on Critical Thinking at one of the world's most esteemed universities: KU Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.
Tracing its roots to 1425 A.D. when the Old University of Leuven was first founded, KU Leuven is today consistently ranked among the fifty greatest universities in the world, and was named by Reuters in 2016 and 2017 as Europe's most innovative university.
We are thrilled to take our international conference overseas for the first time in its nearly four-decade history, and to invite those from all walks of life to learn with us at this historic event. University professors and grade school teachers, CEO's and independent consultants, government personnel and military officers - all are welcome to come and elevate their thinking under the guidance of the world's oldest organization dedicated to critical thinking.
