Exactly one year ago, we lost our honorary rector Paul De Knop with great sadness. The news deeply affected our VUB community. The sense of loss remains immense, but the many beautiful memories of him and his accomplishments continue to live on. Together with your photo submissions, we want to commemorate our honorary rector. His passion, optimism, and dedication have left a lasting impression.

"I've had some bad luck. But I've also had a lot of good luck. I have a wonderful family and had the privilege of working for the university for 42 years, surrounded by all those young intelligent people. Then you've had a fantastic life, haven't you?" - Paul De Knop (1954-2022)
