The structure of the research is important for reinforcing the capacity of research, working as a team and on a complementary basis, and thus establishing excellence. At the University of Liege, the research centres and units are the two entities built on specific and thriving research themes. From an administrative perspective, there are inter-disciplinary centres, of significant critical size, and research units, groups of researchers on specialised, disciplinary or inter-disciplinary themes.

Since 1979, the London Review of Books has stood up for the tradition of the literary and intellectual essay in English. Each issue contains up to 15 long reviews and essays by academics, writers and journalists. There are also shorter art and film reviews, as well as poems and a lively letters page.
A typical issue moves through political commentary to science or ancient history by way of literary criticism and social anthropology. So, for example, an issue can open with a piece on the rhetoric of war, move on to reassessing the reputation of Pythagoras, follow that with articles on the situation in Iraq, the 19th-century super-rich, Nabokov's unpublished novel, how saints got to be saints, the life and work of William Empson, and an assessment of the poetry of Alice Oswald.
