In 2020, Prof. David de la Croix received an ERC advanced Grant to develop a new database of members of European universities and academies and analyze whether these scholars and literati did trigger the rise of the West through the humanistic, scientific, and industrial revolutions.
Prof. David de la Croix and his team have already produced 28 papers dedicated to major historical European universities. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Louvain-la-Neuve, the 29th issue of Repertorium Eruditorium Totius Europae is dedicated to the Universitas Lovaniensis.
