[5] Georges Lemaître, the founder of the Big Bang Theory, was an alumnus of the Catholic University of Louvain.

Until 1995, courses of the University of Louvain Faculty of Economics, Social and Political Sciences and Communication in Charleroi were organised in the buildings of the Institut Saint-André, a secondary school located next to the Maison Georges Lemaître.

[9] UCLouvain thus completely renovated the Maison Georges Lemaître in 1995,[10] and now concentrates most of its Caroloregian activity of teaching and research there.

[13] UCLouvain offers master's degrees and university diplomas in management and fiscal sciences on the Montignies site.

[23] UCLouvain also participates in the Interuniversity Certificate in Energy Electronics organised by Thales Alenia Space at the Open University of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, which is based in Charleroi.
