The von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics is an non-profit educational and scientific organization. It is located in Rhode-Saint-Genese, Belgium.

It hosts three departments, from the older to the younger:

It provides post-graduate education in fluid dynamics (the Diploma Course, Doctorate Program, Lecture Series) and encourages "training in research through research". Under-graduate education is provided as well under the form of a Short training programme for students of the supporting countries and a Final Year Project programme for students of selected Belgian Institutions.

Founded in 1956 following Theodore von Kármán's proposal to create a center of exchange between scientists coming from all over Europe, it is currently supported with subsidies from most of the member countries of NATO and with an income derived from contract research and the one granted by the Lecture Series.
