  • 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.

Depósito de Investigación Universidad de Sevilla METHODS AND MASTERS: MULTILINGUAL TEACHING IN 16TH-CENTURY LOUVAIN http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/LA.2017.i40.13 SWIGGERS, PIERRE CENTRO DE HISTORIOGRAFÍA LINGÜÍSTICA, UNIV. 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.

As the 10th edition of ICAS is taking place in Asia, it will be greatly beneficial and intellectually challenging to invite Asia scholars to use this platform to discuss and exchange ideas on how we can better understand the changes that are happening in this region today. The conference is envisaged as an opportunity for participants to question the old paradigms and to search for new ones that can help us to analytically investigate the emerging economic, political and social order, as well as to conceive a realisation of the need for a new methodology to help us in better dealing with the problems of environment degradation, migration, authoritarianism, ethnic conflict, inequality, commoditisation of culture, and so forth.
