Engaged students

The School is introducing a symbolic recognition scheme open to students from the BA2 level upwards, to highlight your contribution to non-academic and societal causes. 

Opportunities for engagement

Repairing bicycles, joining film associations, defending students' rights... the possibilities are many and varied. Whether you're passionate about the environment, humanitarianism or culture, there is likely to be a cause that suits you. 

On campus, you can take part in initiatives such as the Cercle Solvay, the Bureau Solvay, Campus Recruitment, or the Solvay Business Game. To find out more about engagement opportunities, you can also explore the ULB Engagée platform or the Terro booklet, an essential resource covering the many initiatives available. 

Recognition of your commitment 

Alongside your studies, your investment in a non-academic cause is recognized through several concrete benefits: 

  • a badge to display proudly on your social networks ;
  • official recognition at the start of the academic year ; 
  • a prominent place at your proclamation ; 
  • a diploma supplement, attesting to your engagement. 

To qualify for this recognition, you must complete a minimum of 50 hours of extracurricular involvement during the academic year. As an indication, this represents about one hour per week. In April, you will need to fill in a form attesting to your commitment over the past year. 

Compatible with the CECi 

This commitment is fully compatible with ULB Engagée's Certificat d'Engagement Citoyen (CECi), which offers training, resources and 10 additional credits to enrich your academic path. 

Commitment at SBS-EM 

For several years now, the faculty has been working to prepare students to contribute to societal transformation. To guide this mission, it relies on the Sustainability Learning Compass, which brings together four key categories of knowledge and skills. 

Student involvement fits naturally into the “Action” category, where you put the other three dimensions into practice through your associative activities.
