Quality of campus life

The Quality of Campus Life component aims to ensure a respectful, inclusive and fulfilling environment for the entire university community - students, teachers, administrative and technical staff. It covers in particular:

• the development of institutional policies related to campus life: cultural, sporting, civic activities, catering, chaplaincy, events;
• defining the fundamental orientations and objectives of the University Community Life Service (VéCU) as well as establishing its master plan;
• promoting a high-quality, accessible university catering offer;
• support for cultural policy (communication, socio-cultural events) and sporting events, including the provision of sports facilities;
• the development of inclusive policies that respect dignity and diversity: gender, anti-discrimination, harassment prevention, promotion of parity, diversity, cultural and religious plurality, equity;
• the implementation of training, awareness campaigns, reporting protocols, prevention and support procedures for victims of harassment or discrimination, in line with institutional best practice.
• a cross-functional monitoring and advisory role: the Vice-Rector also pays particular attention to projects and dossiers handled by his/her colleagues on the Rector's Council, in order to draw their attention to quality of life dimensions and ensure that every decision takes into account the respect, inclusion and well-being of the university community. This mission is carried out in coherence and synergy with the development of the University's "values" project, in order to anchor these principles at the heart of all institutional policies and actions.
