The Ghent Centre for Buddhist Studies (GCBS), Belgium’s first academic centre for Buddhist studies, functions within the Department of Languages and Cultures of Ghent University since 2007. We build on the long tradition of Buddhological research in Ghent that dates back to the works of Prof. Dr. Louis de La Vallée Poussin (1869–1938) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
