title: [Erasme is 25 years old].
abstract: The opportunity of the 25th anniversary of the Erasme hospital was taken for drawing up an inventory of the scientific publications issued from the medical teams of the institution. The inventory was established in accordance with the missions of an academic hospital, namely, evaluation and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic tools, creation of new knowledge in basic science as well as in clinical research, translation of new biomedical findings to patient's care by the fruitful back and forth between the laboratory and the bedside and, finally, launching of new skills to be prepared for the medicine of the new millennium. The assessment is positive. However, the future is uncertain due to the under reimbursement of the academic medicine.
