On Friday 13 January, for the first time since 2020, UAntwerp\u2019s New Year\u2019s reception took place in-person. More than a thousand employees gathered in and around the Rector Dhanis lecture hall to festively toast to 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As per tradition, Rector Herman Van Goethem addressed all employees and outlined some plans at the New Year\u2019s Reception. Presenter Tom De Cock spoke with the rector about the university\u2019s financial situation and how to continue building a sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with faculty directors Tinne Borremans (Faculty of Business and Economics) and Virginie Coucke (Faculty of Arts), we looked back at the fire on Stadscampus last summer, and Pierre Van Damme outlined future plans for Vaccinopolis \u2013 our new building for vaccine studies. Our recently retired staff were given a special mention to say thanks for their years of commitment to our university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
