As will be appreciated by the reader, the brochure does not focus only on the technologies themselves but also encompasses work on its impact on society. In doing so, we follow the humanistic approach of the two universities which aims at not only developing science but also at being concerned with its role in our everyday life. As a result, our research has generated many spin-off companies and has created strong links with regional technological centers, such as Multitel and Cetic, with industrial clusters, like Infopole and Twist, as well as with many research laboratories in the world. The brochure is structured in 13 chapters and tackles various domains, such as society and law, human computer interaction, bioinformatics, micro and nano-technologies1, applied electromagnetism, electronic circuits, signal and >}iÊ«ÀViÃÃ}]ÊiÌÜÀÃ]ÊVÀÞ«Ì}À>« Þ]ÊÃiVÕÀÌÞ]ÊVÌÀ]Ê«Ìâ>Ì]Ê>À}iÊ}À>« Ã]Ê } «iÀvÀ>ViÊV«ÕÌ}]Ê machine learning, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, software engineering, programming, formal methods, databases and information systems.

  • Postgraduate Research Training in Belgium
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Lirias 1 K.U. Leuven Department of Sociology Centre for Theoretical Sociology and Sociology of Education Postgraduate Research Training in Belgium Ilse Beuselinck Jef C. Verhoeven Leuven, 1996 2 POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH TRAINING IN BELGIUM I. Beuselinck J.C. Verhoeven Postgraduate research training in Belgium is a rather recent phenomenon. Like in many West-European countries until the 1970s more attention was paid to the expansion of the universities. New universities were created in the 1960s and 1970s in order to give more youngsters the opportunity to enjoy a university education, a policy which was accompanied with more financial support for the existing universities and the expansion of scholarships for not wealthy but capable students. This development was not free from problems. Belgium is a divided country with three important cleavages which had in those years an important influence on political decisions. First, there is the religious cleavage: the split between the Roman Catholics and the anticlericals. Second, the cleavage between working classes and the propertied classes. Third, the linguistic cleavage between the Flemish and the French-speaking group. Also the university expansion was influenced by these oppositions. Belgium has in addition to state universities a strong group of free universities, mainly Catholic, but two non-confessional universities as well. Each university wanted to take as much advantage of the university expansion politics as possible. Since 1971 both systems, free and state universities are subsidized on equal basis. Moreover, the opposition between the Dutch speaking group and the French speaking group was the cause of fierce debate about the means for university expansion in Flanders, The French-speaking Community, and Brussels (Verhoeven, 1982).

  • 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.

    Devolution, Nation-Building and Development Assistance: A Case Study of the Welsh Government’s Wales for Africa Programme Kathleen Mulready This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Geography and Planning Cardiff University 2017 Abstract Devolution, Nation-Building and Development Assistance A Case Study of the Welsh Government’s Wales for Africa programme Abstract This study explores Wales for Africa, the Welsh Government’s international development programme. It particularly considers the issues of political decentralisation, and participation in development assistance, on the making of national identity in contemporary Wales. Using a case study methodology, and a conceptual framework of the sub-state and the citizen as development actor, it explores how notions of Welsh subjectivity are tied to iterations of national identity and civic value, constructed around the concept of sustainable development, and ideas of mutual benefit and reciprocity in international development. It focuses specifically on community-based development organisations linked with partner organisations in sub- Saharan Africa. Although the potential benefits of citizen-led development initiatives to right-based approaches are recognised, little attention has previously been paid to the role of international development to sub-state nation-building. The study seeks to address this gap. Situated within the field of interpretive policy analysis, the thesis adopts a context sensitive approach focussed on how a political narrative around nationhood and civic value has been constructed around Wales’ development activities as a symbol of an alternative nation. Beginning with political devolution, the timeframe of the study ends at October 2016.
