At the Faculty Council Dec 17, the Dean announced the selection of the three award recipients for the Teaching Modulation Policy offload, Professors Vanderdonckt, Swaen and Vrins. The faculty members enjoy a lighter teaching load for two years thanks to an exceptional research productivity over the last five years, more than double the average publication volume. LSM is also celebrating the general increase in research productivity among its researchers, publishing in 2019 more than any previous year both in absolute and per faculty members. The Dean says: "Our programmes are research-based, nothing warrants more for their credibility than truly passionate and productive research faculty members."
