The ITG (ITM) was founded in Brussels in 1906 as a research center and school for tropical medicine. In 1933 the institute moved under the impulse of the later king Leopold III from Brussels to the center of Antwerp. The main reason was that it would be closer to the port of Antwerp, the at that time most important gateway to Africa. The new institute was named after the later king Leopold III: 'The Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine'.

The building was designed by the architects 'Marcel Spittael' and 'Paul Le Bon' in a sober Art Deco style. In the font garden there are some remarkable pieces of art and there is a unique water feature built into the facade next to the entrance.

Today the clasefield building is still used as an Institute of Tropical Medicine and it has world famous reputation doing so. It is also the number one STD and malaria treatment center in Belgium.

You can find it at this address: Kronenburgstraat 43, Antwerp.

Here are 30 facts about Belgium you maybe didn't know

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Test your Belgian knowledge with these top 30 Belgian facts - did you know the Big Bang theory originated in Belgium, and supposedly cricket as well?

How well do you know Belgium? Here is a mix of informative, interesting facts to prepare you for visiting or living in Belgium. See how many of these top 30 Belgian facts you know.

1. The Big Bang theory originated in Belgium - it was a Belgian, the priest and physicist (apparently not a contradiction in terms) Georges Lemaitre, who first came up with what is now called the Big Bang theory of the origin of the universe in 1927. The theory is often attributed to Edwin Hubble, although records show Lemaitre published a similar theory two years before Hubble.

2. Brussels South Charleroi Airport is the most punctual airport in Europe - and it is ranked as the world's second best airport for on-time performance, just behind Japan's Osaka International, in OAG's punctuality report.

3. Cricket is thought to be a Belgian invention, not British - academics believe immigrants from north Belgium could have imported the game to Britain, based on a poem thought to have been written in 1533 that calls Flemish weavers 'king of crekettes' and also mentions 'wickettes', predating English references dating to the 1600s.

4. Belgian men are the second tallest in the world - with a height of 181.7cm, only Dutchmen are taller at 182.5cm. The same can't be said for Belgian women, however, who rank 21 at 165.5cm tall.

5. Belgians are accredited to inventing the Body Mass Index (BMI), the saxaphone and plastic - among a number of other world-changing inventions, such as co-designing the World Wide Web, Imodium, inline skates and a safe contraceptive pill. Read about the top inventions you didn't know were Belgian.

6. Belgians pay among the highest tax rates in Europe - which amount to some 57.8 percent for the highest earners, according to the CGI report, which ranked Belgium's tax rates as fourth highest in Europe after France (66.6 percent), Italy and Spain, while OECD ranks Belgium third highest for tax rates out of its 34 members. Belgium's tax revenue is among the highest in Europe representing around 48 percent of the country's GDP.

7. The name 'Belgium' comes from the Romans - when they called their province in the north of Gaul Gallia Belgica, after its previous inhabitants the Celtic and German Belgae. Belgium's official name today is the Kingdom of Belgium, known in the country's three official languages as Koninkrijk België (Dutch), Royaume de Belgique (French) and Königreich Belgien (German). King Philippe of Belgium is the current monarch.

8. Belgium has more comic strip artists per square kilometre than anywhere in the world - and is the birthplace of the famous comic book series The Smurfs (Pierre Culliford) and The Adventures of Tintin (Hergé), the latter which has been translated into more than 100 languages. An original cover from Tintin In America became the world's most valuable when it sold for EUR 1.3mn. Today visitors can walk Brussels' comic strip trail.

9. The longest tram line in the world is the Belgian Coast Tram - the travels the full 68km of Belgian coast between the French and Dutch borders, making some 68 stops from Knokke-Heist to De Panne and running every 10 minutes during summer peak hours.

10. Belgian architect Victor Horta was a leader of the 19th-century Art Nouveau movement - today four of his town houses in Belgium are designated UNESCO world heritage sites; one is a now museum and the others were hotels. He was also involved in the development of the Art Deco movement.

11. Belgium's highway can be seen from the moon - the almost 100 percent-lit highway network is one of the few man-made structures seen that far at night. Belgium is among the top 10 countries for the highest road and railroad density, although TomTom ranks Brussels as the seventh most congested city in Europe.

12. Tomorrowland is the largest electronic dance music festival in the world - it was also voted as the world's best festival by DJ Magazine and its youtube channel has more than five million subscribers. Alongside some 15 stages and 400+ performers, the festival is known for impressive stage design and tickets sell out months in advance and is aptly located near a Belgian town called Boom.

13. Brussels has hosted some of Europe's most known exiles - after being expelled from France, Karl Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto in Brussels in 1848 with Friedrich Engles, and French author Victor Hugo also worked on Les Miserables while in living in Brussels in exile in 1851.

14. Belgium is the world's leading exporter of billiard balls - nearly 80 percent of the world's billiard balls are made in Belgium. Saluc AC, established in 1923, has its own chemical plant to make the phenolic resin, which give Aramith balls their characteristic high-gloss, rock-hard finish.

Masked, orange-pelting figures at Carnival de Binche

Instead of pulling out floats or throwing tons of beads on Mardi Gras, the small Walloon town of Binche celebrates by trotting out bizarre figures in colorful outfits wearing wax masks and weaving bundles of willow twigs. Folkloric as can be, the tradition has been around since the 14th century. Nobody knows where the strange creatures called 'Gilles' come from - or why they insist on pelting the crowd with oranges - but as far as entertainment and identity-building go (the whole town works together to put on a show), this is one for the books.

Saint Nicholas, a second Santa

Belgian and Dutch kids count their lucky stars for getting to greet Saint Nicholas or 'Sinterklaas' and his batch of presents every year before Christmas even arrives. A kind of second Santa, the good old man and his helper Black Pete visit every single house, in a single night, where kids have been good throughout the year. On the morning of December 6th, kids wake up to presents they've often asked for in a letter to 'De Sint.' While there has been some controversy brewing around the figure of Black Pete (whose face is black from all of the soot in the chimneys that he slides down to deliver presents) in the last couple of years, Sinterklaas remains a beloved Belgian tradition.

Songs and candy on Old Year's Day

Though it's hard for most non-natives to wrap their heads around, Flemish kids in the regions of the Kempen and the Hageland (and a few small regions in the Netherlands) actually go trick-or-treating on Old Year's Day. There are no ghosts or vampires involved like with American Halloween, but candy-givers do get treated to short songs wishing them a happy new year. One of the cuter (and rhyming) songs features a pig with four feet and a tail, its charm sadly lost in translation. Most kids keep at it until noon, occasionally passing home to unload some of the sweet treats and warm up with hot cocoa.

Fish wine at the Krakelingen Festival

Geraardsbergen (or Grammont), known for its hearty 'mattentaart' pastries, has also drawn attention for its ancient Krakelingen Festival and subsequent Tonnekes Fire. Recognized by UNESCO as Intangible World Heritage since 2010, the folkloric bread and fire feasts celebrate the end of winter by throwing 10,000 'krakelingen' or 'mastellen' (donut-shaped pastries) into the masses from atop of the Oudenberg hill and lighting a huge fire on the summit. Before the dean, the mayor, and the city council members get to shower people with these doughy treats, however, they have to take part in a centuries-old ritual: drinking red wine out of a silver 16th-century goblet and swallowing the fish swimming in it. Animal rights activists have tried in vain to get them to switch to fishes made of marzipan, but so far, the town's powers that be aren't budging: they've sworn to uphold the slippery tradition for as long as they can.

A giant omelet and clucking mascots

The one in Abbeville, Louisiana might be more famous, but the Wallonian village of Malmédy is just as proud of its Giant Omelet Festival. Every August, the members of the town's Omelet Brotherhood don towering chefs hats, break 10,000 eggs and start frying their pride and joy in a skillet four meters in diameter. A marching band and clucking chicken mascots entertain people while they watch the cooks stir with their giant wooden spoons and wait for an omelet piece to come their way.

Roaming giants at the Ducasse of Ath

The slumbering Walloon town of Ath turns into a veritable ' City of Giants ' each year during the fourth weekend in August. For centuries, Goliath and his fresh-faced bride, the long-haired Samson, the mythical horse Bayard, and other oversized dolls have been taking over, drawing thousands of folklore lovers as they get married, get into biblical brawls, and generally parade around like they own the place.

Catching the dragon's tail at the Ducasse of Mons

'La Doudou' is what Mons locals lovingly call their most famous festival. It still celebrates that time in the 14th century when a desperate procession of the remains of miracle worker St. Waudru magically worked in getting rid of the plague. To this day, the relic is paraded around on the Cart d'Or, an ornate, horse-pulled buggy, on Trinity Sunday, and the crowd has to jump in and help the animals get the gilded thing up a serious slope; if they don't succeed, legend has it that the city could suffer terrible consequences. Once on the main square, the 'Lumeçon' can commence. During this fierce fight between St. George and his horse versus a large wickerwork dragon, members from the audience jump forward to grab one of the horse hairs attached to the creature's tail. The battle is a boisterous affair, and participating audience members often operate on a little liquid courage.

The meyboom vendetta between Brussels and Leuven

Every single August 9th, a 'tree of joy' or 'meyboom' must be planted in Brussels before the clock strikes 5pm. If not, it would be a surrender to the people of Leuven, a shame too great to bear - at least according to the Brusselaars. The ritual of the maypole stretches back all the way to the early 13th century when the people of Brussels claim that they were celebrating a wedding when they fought off an attack from the Leuvenaars and planted a beautiful young beech to celebrate. The Leuvenaars, on the other hand, remember quite acutely that they stole the true maypole from Brussels in 1974, so it was never up by 5pm that year. They too have been planting their 'one and only true maypole' with a big folk feast ever since.

Oostkamp was voted 'best village to live in' in Belgium!

Oostkamp was voted 'best village to live in' in Belgium!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Het West-Vlaamse Oostkamp is de beste gemeente om in te wonen in Vlaanderen. Dat is de conclusie van het grootste regioproject ooit van de redactie van Het Nieuwsblad. De officiële oorkonde werd woensdagavond overhandigd aan een trotse burgemeester Jan de Keyser (CD&V) tijdens een grote slotshow in de Zuiderkroon in Antwerpen.

Twee jaar lang nam Het Nieuwsblad alle Vlaamse gemeenten onder de loep. Iedere gemeente werd gequoteerd op twintig heel uiteenlopende onderwerpen, enerzijds rond leefbaarheid en anderzijds rond dienstverlening. Precies voor dat laatste is het gemeentebestuur rechtstreeks verantwoordelijk. De resultaten geven ons een globaal beeld van hoe de Vlaamse gemeenten het doen op minder dan een jaar voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen.

Na twintig testen mag het West-Vlaamse Oostkamp zich dus de beste gemeente van Vlaanderen noemen. De gemeente komt als beste allrounder uit de Gemeentetest en scoort zowel hoog op dienstverlening als op leefbaarheid. De West-Vlamingen haalden het nipt voor Bornem en Kalmthout, allebei uit de provincie Antwerpen.

Burgemeester Jan de Keyser van Oostkamp was woensdagavond in de Zuiderkroon dan ook een bijzonder tevreden man: "Ik ben er zelfs wat emotioneel van geworden", zei hij toen hij uit handen van hoofdredacteur Liesbeth Van Impe en chef Regio Jan Feys de hoofdprijs overhandigd kreeg. "Ik wil deze prijs opdragen aan onze drie 'sterren'. De 23.000 inwoners van Oostkamp, die ook mij als inwijkeling hebben welkom geheten. Oostkamp is echt een gemeente die kansen geeft aan mensen. Daarnaast wil ik ons fantastisch personeelskorps en mijn voorgangers als burgemeester hartelijk bedanken."
LEES OOK: "Als inwijkeling voelde ik mij hier meteen thuis" Professioneler
"Dienstverlening is iets waar grotere steden en gemeenten traditioneel goed op scoren", zegt Mattijs Ooms, als adjunct-chef regio van Het Nieuwsblad verantwoordelijk voor de coördinatie van de Gemeentetest. "Dat was heel duidelijk na de eerste tien testen rond de dienstverlening waarvoor het gemeentebestuur rechtstreeks verantwoordelijk is. Hoe groter de gemeente, hoe meer financiële middelen en hoe professioneler de gemeente gerund kan worden."

"Die grote gemeenten boeten omwille van hun omvang wel in als het aankomt op leefbaarheid. De Vlaming is op zoek naar een rustige, groene omgeving met veel sociaal contact waar hij zich veilig kan voelen, en daar scoren de meer landelijke gemeenten dan weer beter."

De uiteindelijke top drie bestaat uit gemeenten tussen de 20.000 en 25.000 inwoners. "Dat blijkt ideaal te zijn. De gemeente is groot genoeg om een degelijke bestuursorganisatie neer te zetten, en klein genoeg voor voldoende persoonlijk contact."

Alle resultaten van de Vlaamse gemeenten lees je hier.
