We talked to initiator and Head of International Relations Sara Bervoets and with two driving forces from the very beginning, Professor Annick Schramme (Responsible Fashion Management) and Professor Pierre Van Damme (Vaccinology), about the significance of ASWU for the participants and for our university.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What was the need that was met by the founding of Antwerp Summer University fifteen years ago?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Sara: \u2018At the time, the division between academic institutions and the labour market was very strict still. We wanted to build bridges, because a university should really be part of society. At the same time, we felt that students were looking for a closer connection with the professional field after graduating and professionals felt the need for further training at the university. We therefore wanted to attract visiting lecturers to integrate certain skills, which are important in the labour market, into the curriculum.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018I remember, for example, a law student who enrolled in an entrepreneurship summer school because she wanted to assist small businesses that were on the verge of bankruptcy. You also have people that come in for retraining, as the labour market has changed. For one thing, sustainability is a far more important topic these days. Doing a summer or winter school is also a way to hone one\u2019s skills in an international setting, making it a valuable alternative to a traditional programme. But don\u2019t mistake it for a holiday, because the days at a summer or winter school are long and tough.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierre: \u2018When it comes to vaccinology, we saw that this element was barely present in medical and pharmaceutical programmes at a fair few European universities. When we pitched him the idea of the summer schools, Johan Meeusen, vice-rector at the time, was immediately on board. It\u2019s partly thanks to him that they were created.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018The Fashion Management summer school perfectly complemented our Master of Cultural Management. Antwerp has worldwide renown as a fashion city and at the time, we didn\u2019t have a programme focused on the business side of the fashion industry.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the student-to-professional ratio amongst participants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018It\u2019s often a mix of students, researchers and professionals. Last year, our participants were 44% students, 27% PhD students and 29% professionals.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3282\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu7-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Universiteit Antwerpen ASWU<br>Sara Bervoets, Annick Schramme en Pierre Van Damme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Besides the knowledge you acquire, what are the advantages of doing a summer or winter school?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018Participants meet teachers and professionals belonging to their own fields of interest and thereby expand their networks. The groups are very small and interactive. And the teachers are very approachable.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierre: \u2018It\u2019s also educational and enriching to see how people in other countries may take a vastly different approach to a situation. What\u2019s more, you\u2019re creating an entire batch of graduates that form a network in Europe, and sometimes even beyond, in our case with a thorough expertise in vaccinology. This had a big impact during COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018It\u2019s also a great way for the students to become acquainted with Antwerp. The welcoming session is at the Antwerp Town Hall and we also organise evening and weekend activities so the participants in the different programmes can get to know each other better.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you look for topics?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018Mostly it\u2019s teachers with a certain expertise that approach us. The elaboration of their idea is then supported by the Antwerp Summer &amp; Winter University Office. We also aim to look at topics from the perspective of different fields of study. That interdisciplinary approach has become increasingly self-evident throughout those fifteen years.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>It\u2019s not only taking a course, but also building a network<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Professor Pierre Van Damme<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you encourage colleagues with ideas to come forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018Absolutely. If you have an idea, do reach out to us. Antwerp Summer &amp; Winter University grew considerably over the past fifteen years; we\u2019d love for that growth to continue. Of course, it\u2019s not just about the idea: its substantive elaboration does require a certain degree of engagement.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018But you get a whole lot of energy and appreciation in return. The participants are extremely grateful and you really create a sense of community.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierre: \u2018It\u2019s not easy to organise a summer school, but every time it\u2019s a unique occasion that brings great satisfaction to everyone involved. What\u2019s more, you teach in the presence of your peers and also learn from them. Over time, a multiplicator effect occurs. For <em>Vaccinology<\/em>, we\u2019ve been getting Slovenian students year after year. They\u2019ve now started to organise their own summer school on vaccines at the University of Ljubljana. That\u2019s wonderful, obviously.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3285\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu5-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Universiteit Antwerpen ASWU<br>Sara Bervoets, Annick Schramme en Pierre Van Damme<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Are summer or winter schools also interesting for staff at UAntwerp itself?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pierre: \u2018Absolutely. Particularly for PhD students, it\u2019s fascinating to be taught by foreign professors for a change. It also makes people in your own field of work and interest very approachable. So it\u2019s not only taking a course, but also building a network.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What changes have you made in the past fifteen years?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018As far as <em>Fashion Management<\/em> goes, professionals were our most important target audience at first, but student numbers have gradually increased. The focus has also changed: the summer school is fully themed around sustainability these days. It is now called <em>Responsible Fashion Management. <\/em>When it comes to sustainability, there\u2019s still a lot of work to be done in the fashion industry. There\u2019s a huge need for professional development, especially given the new European regulations that the industry is facing, to the point where we\u2019re considering setting up a new postgraduate programme.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Furthermore, it\u2019s of course interesting that a credit system has been put in place now. Students can obtain ECTS for their curriculum and, as of two years ago, our programmes are also recognised as microcredentials in the context of lifelong learning.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>The offerings are always unique, flexible and highly attuned to what\u2019s going on.<\/strong><\/p>\n<cite>Professor Annick Schramme<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So is a summer school a kind of testing ground for new ideas?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018It\u2019s a very flexible concept in any case. It goes without saying it\u2019s not a good idea to organise the same summer school for fifteen years; this won\u2019t do anyone any good. The great thing about a summer school is that it allows you to respond to current needs. What\u2019s also important is its high quality, both of the speakers and the organisation. Nothing\u2019s left to chance. And the offerings are always unique, flexible and highly attuned to what\u2019s going on in society.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why have you also started doing winter schools?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018Growth can be in terms of numbers, but also in terms of period covered. That\u2019s also very interesting in the context of internationalisation, as academic calendars are very different all over the world and it\u2019s obviously not summer everywhere at the same time.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"3287\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uantwerpen.be\/pintra-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/240605aswu6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Universiteit Antwerpen ASWU<br>Annick Schramme, Pierre Van Damme en Sara Bervoets<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the conditions to register?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018Some summer schools require prior knowledge, some don\u2019t.

Now it\u2019s the other way around. There is a number of speakers that ask us if they can come teach at a summer school. It\u2019s taken fifteen years, but we\u2019re now at the stage where people invite themselves (laughs).\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annick: \u2018I think it\u2019s great to see how a visit to the haute couture ateliers in Paris inspires students. Under normal circumstances there\u2019s no way you\u2019d be allowed into such a place. So an exclusive visit like this is a unique experience.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sara: \u2018Last winter, when it was summer in Johannesburg, we did our first-ever on-site winter school there. A heavily pregnant participant gave birth during the winter school. So we promptly awarded her baby a winter school participation certificate (laughs).\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>All practical information and all summer and winter schools offered by our university can be found <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pintra.uantwerpen.be\/webapps\/ua-pintrasite-BBLEARN\/module\/index.jsp?course_id=_52_1&amp;tid=_34907_1&amp;l=en_us\"><strong>on the website<\/strong><\/a><strong>.
