ATP staff are rightly asking to further refine and optimise the job architecture framework within which it operates. Together with the HR Department, we will continue to develop the Job Architecture Framework 2.0 to respond more flexibly to changing or temporary needs in an entity and to employees’ growth and development. We will continue to provide opportunities for talented staff through internal mobility programmes and to strengthen the role of supervising staff in providing coaching support to a staff member’s sustainable career path. In that context, we are also exploring introducing senior grades in those classes of the job architecture framework where they are currently lacking. ATP colleagues who, based on the specificity of a course and their competencies, have been assigned responsibility for a course, will continue to be valued and will be recognised as course holders.

Together, we make KU Leuven

Thank you very much for the vote of confidence you have placed in me during what has already been an intense campaign. Now we are steaming ahead to the final round of voting! Because if you really want to bring a breath of fresh air to the university, you need to know exactly what is going on, what the needs are and how we can realistically address them. In short, you need to know KU Leuven inside out so that we can move forward together and leave no one behind. That’s why I am keen to continue the dialogue with you, because yes, together, we make KU Leuven.
