its fiftieth anniversary.
In 1968, as a result of linguistic issues, the university was divided into two different universities: one French speaking, which moved to the province of Walloon Brabant, and one Dutch speaking, which remained in the same location.
In 1970, these two universities were established by law as the Katholieke Universiteit te Leuven and Université catholique de Louvain.
In 1971, the first foundation stone was laid in Louvain-la-Neuve, a new city constructed for the French-speaking university.
