With a career marked by his commitment to students and teaching, he brings his expertise in academic leadership and innovative approaches to education.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Hiligsmann joined Uni.lu from UCLouvain, where he served as Vice-rector and Professor of Dutch language and linguistics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change of leadership is marked by a subtle, but important change: the position of <em>Vice-rector for Academic affairs<\/em> has become <em>Vice-rector for Academic and Student affairs<\/em>, underlining the role of students in the University\u2019s education policy. In his first interview, he provides a taste of what is to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our first interview, we tackle his vision of a holistic approach of teaching, learning and student engagement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"could-you-tell-us-a-bit-about-your-background\"\n    >\n<strong><em>Could you tell us a bit about your background?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m Belgian, and I studied at the University of Li\u00e8ge, where I also conducted my Ph.D. specialising in the learning of Dutch as a second language. For those who are not familiar to Belgium, there are three official languages, French, Dutch and also German! Later, I had the opportunity to take a position at the University of Lille.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2001, I moved to the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCLouvain), where I held several positions, including department chair, dean of a faculty and vice-rector for student affairs. I am very pleased to start a new chapter at the University of Luxembourg.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"what-are-your-plans-for-enhancing-academic-programmes-and-student-services\"\n    >\n<strong><em>What are your plans for enhancing academic programmes and student services?<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In overall, I firmly believe that our decisions should be rooted in scientific research, existing best practices in higher education institutions, and surveys conducted among students and alumni.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing new interdisciplinary programmes is a very important issue in 2024, and I hope to do so the coming years in collaboration with the faculties and research centres. I\u2019m also looking forward to fostering stronger connections between initial training, continuing education, and lifelong learning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Vice-Rector for Student Affairs at UCLouvain, my focus has always been on student service.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quote-people\">\n    <div class=\"quote-people\" role=\"group\">\n        <figure class=\"quote-people__body\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote-people__blockquote\">\n    <span class=\"quote-people__quote\">\u201f<\/span>\n    For me, being a professor means not only educating students academically but also supporting their growth outside the classroom.
