Meeting each other is essential in academic education. That is why we are firmly committed to KU Leuven as an on-campus university. But we want to redesign it: with fewer but better quality physical contact moments and with sufficient flexibility and consideration for students’ and teachers’ needs. Through KU Leuven Learning Lab, we will assist POCs and lecturers in turning contact moments into optimal learning moments with room for academic discussion and peer interaction. We will also devise examples of carefully crafted blended curricula and course components, ranging from a maximum on-campus programme to a maximum hybrid approach. Throughout all this, we will not lose sight of communication with students, because blended curricula also require commitment and effort on their part.

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.
