The University of Mons is a new Belgian university settled in the city of Mons created by merging the Engineering Faculty of Mons (FPMs) and the University of Mons-Hainaut. The merging of the institutions was viewed as logical[citation needed] because of the high complementarity between them and their location in the same city.
This merger was accepted by the two universities on the 6 July 2007 and confirmed by the Belgian French Community Parliament on the 25 November 2008. From an administrative point of view the University of Mons was founded on the 1 January 2009.
Prof. Conti, former rector of the Engineering Faculty of Mons, became the rector of the University of Mons, while Prof. Lux, former rector of the University of Mons-Hainaut, became the administrator of the new University.
