What do we stand for as a university? In challenging times like these, that question matters more than ever. Our mission and vision are more than lofty statements, and you help bring them to life every day – often without realising it. With the Mission in Motion quiz, you can refresh your knowledge of our mission, vision and lines of strength in a quick and enjoyable way. You’ll also discover what we bring to the table together.
What do we stand for as a university?
In November 2023, UAntwerp presented its renewed mission and vision, together with a number of clear lines of strength. They give direction to what we stand for as a university and, above all, to how we put this into practice together every day. Watch this video to discover what UAntwerp stands for.
Our lines of strength are visible in everyday practice: in the way we work together, in how we shape education and research, and in how we build a caring and inclusive learning and working environment.
Mission in motion: from vision to practice
With the Mission in Motion campaign, we’re once again putting our mission, vision and lines of strength in the spotlight – not as lofty statements on paper, but as something that’s often already present in our daily work.
Over the past years, this has taken shape in various ways:
- A video showing what UAntwerp stands for today.
- Testimonials from staff members who feel empowered in their daily work, for example by combining work and study, creating inclusive buildings, collaborating with the Port of Antwerp, or supporting international students.
- The Mission in Motion quiz, which allows you to discover how you put our mission, vision and lines of strength into practice every day and where you make a difference.
If you’d like to read through our mission, vision and lines of strength again at your own pace, you can do so here.
