With the start of the 2013-2014 academic year, the KU Leuven community gained thousands of new students and staff as a result of the integration of the various academic degree programmes of the university colleges within the KU Leuven Association. This is the culmination of a process ten years in the making and is unquestionably the most substantial institutional development of the last 40 years. The Flemish higher education landscape has changed significantly, and KU Leuven has become a multi-campus university. It is still too early to know with certainty how this institutional operation will influence daily life at the university colleges and at the university. But that it will is certain. The simple fact that the integrated university college degree programmes are now research-based will lead to new projects, contacts, administrative needs, curricula, intellectual orientation and so forth. The university, too, will change, but it will also remain itself. As it should. An institution that has existed as long as ours – nearly six centuries – blazes new paths and, indeed, makes innovation a top priority. But it also remains true to its unique character. The substance of that character can be gleaned from this humble booklet. It paints our university in broad strokes: research, education, university life. You will get a taste for how our university participates in society and how it manifests the word ‘service’ in every aspect of its mission. Of course, this is not an exhaustive overview – far from it. But I dare to hope that it gives a good idea of what KU Leuven is and what it means to live in our university community. At its heart, a university is first and foremost a community of people who dedicate their talents, energy and aspirations to bringing about the world of their dreams. Some of these dreams are gathered in these pages. May they inspire you as they have me.

  • Rik Torfs État Et Églises En Belgique
    Rik Torfs État et Églises en Belgique I. Données sociologiques Il est difficile de présenter un aperçu exact de l’appartenance reli- gieuse en Belgique, car il n’existe aujourd’hui plus de recensements nationaux. Cependant même lorsque ces derniers existaient encore, les questions relatives à la religion étaient considérées comme contraires à la liberté de religion. Quelques statistiques existent cependant et nous pouvons ainsi préci- ser que la population globale belge compte aujourd’hui plus de 10 millions d’habitants. 70 % environ de la population appartient à l’Église catholique-romaine, soit 10 % de moins qu’il y a vingt ans. Le chiffre des protestants est estimé entre 70 000 et 100 000, soit moins d’1 % de la population globale. Les musulmans, qui sont pré- sents uniquement depuis les années 1960 en Belgique, correspondent aujourd’hui à environ 4 % de la population. L’ensemble des autres groupes religieux est nettement moins impor- tant. Il est possible de compter environ 21 000 anglicans, 40 000 juifs et plus de 60 000 orthodoxes. Les chiffres des non-croyants sont eux quelque peu discutés. Les représentants des groupements officiels des non-croyants estiment leur nombre entre 1,5 millions ou 15 % de la population1. Par contre, selon les données du gouvernement, ces chiffres s’élèvent unique- ment à 350 000 personnes2. Cette différence peut s’expliquer par le fait que beaucoup de personnes bien que n’étant pas croyantes ou nourrissant des convictions agnostiques, ne souhaitent cependant pas pour autant appartenir à un groupement officiel et bien structuré de non-croyants.

  • Press Release Stockholm, September 16, 2020
    PRESS RELEASE STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 16, 2020 Cutting-edge cancer treatment comes to Belgium with the installation of RayCare and RayStation at Particle Therapy Interuniversity Centre Leuven Advanced treatment planning system (TPS) RayStation®* and next-generation oncology information system (OIS) RayCare®* are now in operation at the brand new Particle Therapy Interuniversity Centre Leuven (PARTICLE). The center is the first proton therapy clinic in the world with the combination of RayCare and IBA’s single-room proton therapy device Proteus®ONE. Part of an interuniversity project of University Hospitals Leuven (together with KU Leuven and Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc-UCLouvain and supported by UZ Gent, CHU UCL Namur, UZ Brussel and UZA), PARTICLE has been created to offer clinical care, in addition to education, training and research and development. The collaborative center has partnered with leading academic partners and research institutes, as well as with industrial partners such as RaySearch, supplier of RayCare and RayStation, and IBA, the supplier of the proton therapy device ProteusONE. RayCare is designed to enable clinicians to fluidly coordinate tasks and ensure optimal use of resources. PARTICLE is the first proton therapy center in the world to install RayCare to support comprehensive cancer care and treatment delivery in combination with ProteusONE, a compact proton beam therapy device featuring the latest generation pencil beam scanning and isocenter volumetric imaging capabilities. Together, the advanced software from RaySearch and cutting-edge equipment from IBA will position PARTICLE at the forefront of innovative cancer treatment in Belgium. The combination of the technologies will help patients in the country gain critical access to proton therapy, which is the optimal option for cancer patients where treatment options are limited, or where conventional radiotherapy presents an unacceptable risk to the patient – as is often the case with children.

    Louvain Studies 42 (2019): 365-395 doi: 10.2143/LS.42.4.3287164 © 2019 by Louvain Studies, all rights reserved “With my mouth I will give thanks...” (Ps 109:30a) The Contribution of Leuven Biblical Scholarship to the Field in the Past Fifty Years and the Future of Biblical Studies in Light of Psalm 109 Ma. Maricel S. Ibita Introduction My heartfelt thanks to the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies (FTRS) of the KU Leuven for the invitation to give this lecture from the part of the Research Unit Biblical Studies (RUBS) on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the International Programmes in English.1 My gratitude also to the Ateneo de Manila University for the research leave grant to prepare for this lecture and its publication. While my initial excitement in drafting this piece was almost dampened by the enor- mity of the task to reflect on the future of biblical studies, it was replaced by a deep gratitude for the contributions of the KU Leuven to my own personal, academic and professional formation. Within the limited time and space, I apologize for any oversight as I paint in broad strokes the unique contributions and influences of our research unit to the greater field of global biblical studies, the current challenges for biblical research, and the possible trajectories for biblical criticism, with Psalm 109 as a test case as it talks about an ‘unsilent’ mouth (109:1), evil mouths (109:2), and praising mouth (109:30). The mouth here serves as a synecdoche, that is, with a generalizing and integrative function,2 for the whole person.

  • Premiers Patients Traités Au Centre De Protonthérapie À Louvain
    Premiers patients traités au centre de protonthérapie à Louvain PARTICLE, le premier centre de protonthérapie belge est mis en service Mercredi 16 septembre 2020 — Pendant l'été 2020, les premiers patients ont pu être accueillis et ont bénéficié d’une protonthérapie dans le nouveau centre de protonthérapie implanté sur le campus “Gasthuisberg” de l’UZ Leuven (Louvain) et exploité conjointement par des équipes d’UZ Leuven et des Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc. La protonthérapie est une forme innovante de radiothérapie qui permet de traiter une tumeur de manière très ciblée et, ainsi, d’endommager le moins possible les tissus sains environnants. C’est la première fois que des traitements par protonthérapie sont administrés en Belgique. Le traitement des premiers patients s'est bien déroulé. C’est en automne 2016 qu’a débuté la construction de PARTICLE, le premier centre de protonthérapie en Belgique. Cet été, PARTICLE est entré en fonction à Louvain. Le premier patient, un jeune homme présentant une tumeur rare au cerveau, a été pris en charge le 22 juillet 2020. Depuis, 7 patients ont déjà pu bénéficier d’un traitement par protonthérapie. La protonthérapie est une forme innovante de radiothérapie qui permet de traiter une tumeur maligne de manière très ciblée et qui, de ce fait, endommage moins les tissus sains. Cette thérapie est en plein essor dans le monde entier pour le traitement de patients nécessitant une protection spécifique des tissus environnants. Il peut s’agir d’enfants atteints d'un cancer ou d’adultes avec une tumeur située à proximité d'un organe vital ou sensible comme les yeux ou le cerveau.

  • REPORT of the MEETING of EUROPEAN NATIONAL COMMISSIONS for UNESCO LEUVEN, BELGIUM 26 April 2013
    REPORT OF THE MEETING OF EUROPEAN NATIONAL COMMISSIONS FOR UNESCO LEUVEN, BELGIUM 26 April 2013 I – Introduction 1. The meeting of European National Commissions was convened at the initiative of the Flemish Commission for UNESCO and organized together with the Netherlands and German National Commissions, with the support of the UNESCO Liaison Office in Brussels. The meeting was attended by the Secretaries-General of the ten following European Member States: Austria, Croatia, Finland, Flanders-Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland and The Netherlands. 2. The Presidents of the Netherlands and the Flemish Commissions also participated in this international meeting. Experts from Flanders, the Netherlands and Germany made presentations on the themes of World Heritage and Open Access. A number of external panellists took part in the discussions (see annex I). The Head of the UNESCO Liaison Office in Brussels and two staff members attended the meeting as observers. 3. In 2012, during an informal meeting between representatives of the Flemish and German Commissions as well as the UNESCO Liaison Office in Brussels, all parties agreed that UNESCO’s intellectual mandate is its core role. Moreover, it was emphasised that this mission of UNESCO is crucial for successfully coordinating and advising policies. Consequently, UNESCO’s intellectual power need to be strengthened. As an intellectual agency, UNESCO must develop the highest standards in dealing with the most urging issues in its fields of competence. All parties further agreed that National Commissions for UNESCO should be mobilized to achieve this fundamental objective. 4. Prior to the Leuven meeting, the Flemish Commission sent a memorandum recalling UNESCO’s history as an organization founded to promote intellectual cooperation.

DE LOVAINA (BÉLGICA) Profesor ORCID: 0000-0001-9814-2530 VAN ROOY, RAF CENTRO DE HISTORIOGRAFÍA LINGÜÍSTICA, UNIV. DE LOVAINA (BÉLGICA) Investigador ORCID: 0000-0003-3739-8465 Resumen: En el siglo XVI se hablaban y se practicaban varias lenguas en Flandes, especialmente en la ciudad universitaria de Lovaina y en Amberes, centro económico de los Países Bajos españoles. El multilingüismo que se practicaba era por un lado un multilingüismo ‘vertical’, implicando el estudio de las tres lenguas ‘sagradas’ (hebreo, griego, latín); este tipo de estudio se concretizó con la fundación del Collegium Trilingue de Lovaina (1517). Por otro lado, estaba muy difundido un multilingüismo ‘horizontal’, que implicaba las len- guas vernáculas, como el español, el francés y el italiano; este tipo de multilingüismo se explica por el ascenso de la clase comerciante. La presente contribución analiza la documentación disponible (sobre los maestros de lengua y los instrumentos didácticos) y rastrea los factores contextuales que influían en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras en Flandes, con particular atención a Lovaina. Palabras clave: Historia de la enseñanza de lenguas: Instrumentos didácticos; Multilingüismo (español, francés, italiano); Flandes; Collegi- um Trilingue de Lovaina; siglo XVI Abstract: In 16th-century Flanders, various languages were spoken and practiced, especially in the university town of Louvain and the city of Antwerp, the economic heart of the Southern Low Countries.
