Lecture André Loeckx: Participation

Lecture: Participatie

André Loeckx reflects on the history of participation (in Flanders) using a text by Tzonis and Lefaivre with Ringland as the final case. Have participation processes only increased the involvement of a diversity of actors in spatial processes? Or have they also helped to redesign the nature and use of these processes in line with this diversity of actors: a better urban and spatial planning, renewal of democracy, etc.?

Francqui Leerstoel

In 1932, Emile Francqui and Herbert Hoover jointly decided to set up a Foundation, to which they entrusted an important capital. This Foundation was intended to « promote the development of higher education and scientific research in Belgium ». It was Herbert Hoover who insisted that this Foundation should bear the name of Emile Francqui in order to make the memory continue to the man who had done so much for his country and for science.

On proposal of the Universities, the Francqui Foundation attributes each year some "Francqui Chairs"
