Staff

Gender

We can proudly say that our Rector, 3 out of 4 Directors of Studies, 1 out of 2 Programme Directors, and 2 out of 3 Permanent Professors at the College is female.

In general, the College also has a majority of women among its permanent staff members (60% women vs. 40% men), including 45% of our current administrative leadership.

The majority of the College's visiting professors is still male (66% vs 34% female), although we notice a positive trend among most study departments over the past five years.

All study departments keep track of their gender balance through detailed Gender Scoreboards, to monitor progress on this front.

• Technical staff includes all blue-collar employees and in particular, residence wardens, kitchen staff, housekeeping and technicians;
• Administrative staff includes all white collare employees and departmental secretaries, except for leadership;
• Academic staff includes all directors of studies, permanent professors, chairs, assistants and research assistants;
• Leadership includes administrative staff reporting directly to the Rector (thus excluding academic staff with hierarchical responsibilities);
• Visiting Professors include non-permanent academic staff.  

Nationality

In 2023, we had 26 different nationalities among our permanent staff (i.e. excluding visiting professors).
Our academic staff represents the highest diversity in terms of nationalities, while the majority of our administrative staff is Belgian.
