#POINT CARRÉ VUB FREE#
VUB is an ’urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.The call by student organisations, scholars and activists to decolonise universities, including our own VUB, is growing louder. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves.

Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig - The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps.

The entire VUB community and their families, as well as Brussels residents, can go there for a vaccine on various days between 16 September and 8 October. The vaccination point is located on the Brussels Humanities, Sciences & Engineering Campus in Etterbeek, in the containers in front of the Braem building, next to building B. But we are also aiming to attract international students, because they often haven’t had the chance to get vaccinated in their home country," said Noppen. "With the vaccination point on the VUB campus in Etterbeek, we want to appeal to students and thus make it easier to come and get a shot. Research shows that young people in Brussels have little interest in the vaccine. A high vaccination rate is the only path to normality, so we must do everything we can to increase it," said Devroey. "It’s important as a university that we play our part in the vaccination campaign.

The action is part of the effort to boost vaccination rates and to continue teaching under code green coronavirus restrictions, which allow full capacity on campus. The vaccination centre was opened today in the presence of Dirk Devroey (dean of VUB’s Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy), Marc Noppen (CEO of UZ Brussel) and Jolien Van Lersberghe (VUB medical student and student representative), who also administered the vaccines. As well as students, everyone is welcome for a free dose of the single-shot J&J vaccine. Ahead of the official start of the academic year next week, international students and VUB employees who have not yet been vaccinated are urged to get vaccinated. Through this initiative, VUB, as an urban engaged university, is playing its part in the battle for a higher vaccination rate in Brussels. From 27 September, there will also be a vaccine centre on the Jette campus. While many vaccination centres are closing, VUB officially opened a vaccination point on its Etterbeek campus today.
