Honouring Our Former Rectors
This year’s elite races will once again hold a special significance. The Memorial Paul De Knop and Memorial Caroline Pauwels pay tribute to our late honorary rectors, both of whom left an enduring mark on VUB. Their memory adds a poignant and meaningful dimension to the day for all those who hold our university dear.
Whether you’re a passionate cyclocross fan or just looking for a sporty day out, the Soudal Brussels Universities Cyclocross is your chance to feel the adrenaline on your own campus. See you there!
