  • 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.

  • Uclouvain-Rentrée 2018-Allocution Du Recteur
    Allocution prononcée par le Professeur V. Blondel, recteur, à l’occasion de la rentrée académique 2018-2019 Partie 1. Ouverture de la cérémonie Monseigneur, Excellences, Mesdames et Messieurs les ambassadeurs, Mesdames et Messieurs les ministres et les ministres d’Etat, Mesdames et Messieurs les députés, Messieurs les recteurs Mesdames et Messieurs les directeurs présidents des hautes écoles, Mesdames, Messieurs, chers amis de l’université, Chères et chers collègues, chères étudiantes, chers étudiants, Depuis près de six siècles, notre université dispense des enseignements et soutient la recherche dans un même esprit d’exigence scientifique et de service à la collectivité. Elle l’a fait sous des noms divers : de « Studium generale » lors de sa fondation, à l’appellation légale d’« Université catholique de Louvain » depuis 1970 et à la généralisation du sigle UCL. Ces appellations n’ont jamais empêché des usages variés : je suis étudiant à l’UCL, je suis professeur à Louvain, professor at the University of Louvain, chercheur à Louvain-en-Woluwe ou même, comme le disent mes enfants, « l’année prochaine, je vais à Louv ». Aujourd’hui, si nous sommes bien présents dans l’enceinte de l’Université catholique de Louvain, qui reste la désignation officielle de l’université, j’ai le plaisir de vous accueillir toutes et tous dans une Université qui se dote d’un tout nouveau logo, le logo UCLouvain qui remplace, à partir d’aujourd’hui, le rectangle bleu foncé du logo UCL. Ce changement n’est pas une révolution, mais plutôt une évolution toute naturelle. La dénomination UCLouvain est en effet celle qui avait été retenue il y a 10 ans lors du projet de fusion des quatre universités qui formaient alors l’ « Académie Louvain ».
