History

In 2020 the faculty of Bioscience Engineering at Ghent University celebrates its 100th anniversary. Our history starts in 1920, when the first academic year at the State Agricultural University was opened. In 1969 we officially became a faculty within Ghent University.

Already for 100 years now we work on the solutions for tomorrow's challenges.

Let's take a look into the future as well: our youngest researchers describe their vision on how their field of study will look like in 2050.

Beer

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of our faculty, we developed a brand new 'faculty beer', named Coupure Blond.

It's a a blonde high fermentation beer based on ancient, local cereals.
