Community action

Actions solidaires

The university wants to be a fully committed actor in society. It does this in particular by organising or joining in civic actions that correspond to its values.

These actions, whether they concern fighting poverty, environmental protection, supporting research, defending freedom and democracy, or aid for refugees, are carried out in close collaboration with students.

Thus the university and its students commit their expertise and dynamism to meeting the great challenges of our time.

Supporting refugees

UCLouvain takes part in Higher Education in Emergencies, a global movement that aims to make higher education more accessible to refugees. UCLouvain’s refugee support projects are led by the pro-rector for international affairs, who is responsible for human rights, Prof. Dana Samson.
