It is expected that ULCC will federate existing but dispersed Uni.lu activities, including the University of Luxembourg Leadership Academy (ULLA), ULearn, Transferable skills in Doctoral education, and diverse mentoring initiatives. The proposed new ULCC structure should be led by a university professor who will ensure integration and communication within our academic community, and a modern academic approach to continuing education. The new ULCC will be positioned as a central structure, under the supervision of the vice-rector for academic affairs.
