  • Vincent Blondel the #Uclouvain Experience
    Vincent Blondel The #UCLouvain experience Rector Candidate 2019 - 2024 A strong track record. An ambitious project. Five years ago, you entrusted me to become the rector of our university. Together, we carried out most of the electoral program, which was carried out under the Lou- vain 2020 project. At the end of this first mandate, it is now time to look back. Together we have ac- complished great deal. These five years as rector by your side have been an im- mense privilege. It was intense and demanding, but I did not regret it for a second. I have received a lot of positive feedback and support to continue, with you, the work that has been done for five years. For this second mandate, I have built my program by consulting many members of the university community. Thanks to these exchanges, this program has gradually been prepared, based both on the results of what I have achieved and on the desire to go further. My program, with 131 proposals, is structured around three axes: ∙ a university dedicated to each of its members, with a priority for well-being at work ∙ a strong and stable university, both internally and externally ∙ an open university, a leader for social change, with proposals to foster a society in transition. Today, I am proud of what we have built together over the last five years. I want to continue to put my experience and energy at the service of our university. I want to contribute, with you, to a future worthy of its prestigious past and to shape it a place of excellence, inclusive, open to the world and a source of fulfilment for all.

    Vincent Blondel L’expérience #UCLouvain Candidat recteur 2019 - 2024 La force d’un bilan. L’audace d’un projet. Il y a cinq ans, vous m’avez accordé votre confiance pour devenir le recteur de notre université. Nous avons réalisé ensemble l’essentiel du programme sur lequel vous m’avez élu, et qui a été traduit dans le projet Louvain 2020. Au terme de ce premier mandat est venu le temps d’un bilan. Ensemble, nous avons beaucoup accompli. Ces cinq années comme recteur à vos côtés ont été un immense privilège. Cela a été intense et exigeant, mais je ne l’ai pas regretté une seconde. J’ai reçu beaucoup de retours positifs et des encouragements pour conti- nuer l’action entreprise, avec vous, depuis cinq ans. Pour ce second mandat également, j’ai construit mon programme en consultant de très nombreux membres de la communauté universitaire. C’est dans ces échanges que s’est peu à peu préparé ce programme, fondé à la fois sur le bilan de ce que j’ai pu contribuer à installer et sur la volonté d’aller plus loin. Mon programme, fort de 131 propositions, est articulé autour de trois axes: ∙ une université attentive à chacun·e de ses membres, avec une priorité pour le bien-être au travail ∙ une université forte et solide, en interne comme à l’extérieur ∙ une université ouverte, actrice d’un changement social, porteuse de proposi- tions pour soutenir une société en transition. Aujourd’hui, je suis fier de ce que nous avons construit ensemble depuis cinq ans et je veux continuer à mettre mon expérience et mon énergie au service de notre université pour contribuer, avec vous, à lui bâtir un avenir digne de son passé pres- tigieux et à en faire un lieu d’excellence, inclusif, ouvert au monde et source d’épa- nouissement pour toutes et tous.
