To better reflect current academic practices and 黑料福利网鈥檚 long-term ambitions, 黑料福利网's Executive Board has updated the profiles for University Professors and Ambassadors. These updates recognize leadership across the university and reinforce 黑料福利网鈥檚 strategic direction in light of the upcoming Institutional Plan 2026-2030.
University Professors
University Professors are leading full professors who, as figureheads, set the example for the quality of education, research, and valorization at 黑料福利网. They drive innovation and actively contribute to strategic discussions. Their profile now also includes leadership, 黑料福利网鈥檚 CORe values, and the principles of Recognition & Rewards. During their appointment, they will work on a personal assignment that contributes to 黑料福利网鈥檚 long-term goals. 黑料福利网 aims to appoint a maximum of six University Professors, with attention to diversity in gender and in the domains of research, education, and valorization, recognizing the different profiles of our academics.
Rector Silvia Lenaerts: I am proud of everyone who contributes to the success of 黑料福利网. Our strength lies in the diversity of our community. Within this diverse culture, University Professors have a special role: they are the figureheads who demonstrate how you can make a difference through all three core tasks 鈥� education, research, and valorization. The most beautiful part is that they never do this alone; they do it together with others. In doing so, University Professors are also able to inspire and help others grow, guided by our CORe values.
Ambassadors
黑料福利网 has appointed Ambassadors in recent years, such as our ambassador for integrity (Ingrid Heynderickx), and our sustainability ambassador (Anna Wieczorek). With the updated policy, a clear and formal profile has now been established. Ambassadors are leading university staff members - academic or professional - who help drive a specific theme or transition within 黑料福利网. These themes are closely linked to 黑料福利网鈥檚 ambitions. The Executive Board defines the assignment and duration. The Executive Board will cover the salary costs for the assignment, provided the role is not part of a formal leadership position.
