VUB FELLOWS @ CLIC
VUB Fellows are proposed by the rector and vice-rector to commit themselves at university level. Thanks to their contribution, experiences are shared at policy level that benefit research, academic education and society as a whole.
The Fellows of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities have a background in art, philosophy, culture or the media. As ambassadors, they contribute to VUB’s teaching and research programmes and facilitate cooperation with organisations outside the university. Their role is of great importance for the faculty's community engagement.
Below, you can see which CLIC members have acted as proximus/proxima.
