Tervuren (; Dutch: [tɛrˈvyːrə(n)]) is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in Flanders, Belgium. The municipality comprises the villages of Duisburg, Tervuren, Vossem and Moorsel. On January 1, 2006, Tervuren had a total population of 20,636. The total area is 32.92 km², which gives it a population density of 627 inhabitants per km². The official language of Tervuren is Dutch. Local minorities consist primarily of French speakers and nationals of many countries of the European Union, the USA, and Canada. The reason for this diverse mix of nationalities is the presence of expatriate workers and their families working in and around Brussels, usually either for the European Union, NATO or for multinational corporations. The British School of Brussels has been located in Tervuren since 1970. Tervuren is also home of the English speaking St. Paul's Church, part of the Anglican ChurchTervuren is one of the richest municipalities in Belgium. It is linked to Brussels by a large processional avenue, Tervurenlaan, built by king Leopold II for the Universal Exhibition of 1897. This interweaves with a combined heritage and commuter tramline. Until 1959, Tervuren was also served by an electric railway, whose disused terminus opposite the Royal Museum for Central Africa became a pub named the Spoorloos Station (Trackless Station), currently named "Bar des Amis".

Kraainem metro station
Kraainem metro station

Kraainem/Crainhem is a Brussels Metro station in the municipality of Woluwe-St.-Lambert/St.-Lambrechts-Woluwe, Brussels. Since 4 April 2009 the station has been served by Metro line 1 (previously line 1B). It is located near the intersection of the Wezembeeklaan (fr: Avenue de Wezembeek), Mounierlaan (Avenue Mounier), and Kraainemlaan (Avenue de Kraainem). It has a large park-and-ride lot and is also the terminus for a number of inbound regional bus routes of De Lijn as well as for the STIB/MIVB bus routes 30 and 31. The station was inaugurated in 1988 with the extension of the Eastern branch of line 1B from Alma to Stockel/Stokkel. Due to its location in a park-and-ride lot, it is one of the few Brussels Metro stations that has its own station building on the surface (most other stations having only an underground mezzanine). Originally, the station was just called Kraainem, using only Dutch spelling, as it was technically named after the Kraainemlaan (fr: Avenue de Kraainem) (a road using Dutch spelling for both its Dutch and French names), not after the nearby municipality (Dutch: gemeente, French: commune) of Kraainem. However, French speakers in the Brussels community quickly protested against what they regarded as a violation of bilingual language facilities and insisted that the French form Crainhem be added to the name of the station. Thus the station is today usually held to be named after the municipality of Kraainem, even though it is not actually located on its territory, but partly under the UCLouvain Bruxelles Woluwe university campus.

Haute École Léonard de Vinci

Haute École Léonard de Vinci is a Catholic institution of higher education of the French Community of Belgium, based on 3 campus (two in Brussels and one in Louvain-la-Neuve). It offers short-type courses (bachelor), long type (master) and specializations in these three sectors: Health Social studies Science and TechnologyIt was formed in 1995 through the grouping of a number of pre-existent institutions: ECAM - École centrale des arts et métiers (an industrial engineering college) ENCBW-IESP - École normale catholique du Brabant wallon - Institut d’enseignement supérieur pédagogique (a teacher training college) ISEI - Institut Supérieur d'Enseignement Infirmier (a paramedical college) IESP2A - Institut d'Enseignement supérieur Parnasse-Deux Alice (a paramedical college), which itself was created through the merger of two Brussels nurse schools: The Institut Parnasse The Institut des Deux-Alice, founded in 1937 ILMH - Institut libre Marie Haps (a college providing education in translation, psychology, and speech therapy) IPL - Institut Paul Lambin (a college for medical and biological technology) In 2019, ECAM, the school's only department offering Master's studies, left the Haute École Leonard de Vinci to join the Haute École « ICHEC-ISC Saint-Louis-ISFSC », which became ICHEC-ECAM-ISFSC. Following this, the governance of the Haute Ecole Leonard de Vinci has been reviewed in September 2019 and the historical institutions have given way to the three sectors (health; social studies; science and technology).
