Steps to strenghten lifelong learning have already been taken in recent years, including through KU Leuven Continue and by creating a financial framework that aims to help guarantee the sustainability of these initiatives through clear awareness-raising about their funding. We will strive as much as possible, but certainly not exclusively, for self-sustaining continuing professional development (CPD) initiatives and, as an organisation, we will work with the relevant initiators, faculties and research groups to find solidarity for those initiatives that are struggling financially but are of great value due to their social impact. To enable our research groups and faculties to focus on the provision itself, we will also strengthen the framework for lifelong learning with support formulas and business models that inspire initiators and show them the way forward, and we will continue to support them in communicating about their initiatives via Continue.be. In particular, we continue to work on the professional development offerings tailored to teachers.

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.
