YOUR STATUS AT ULg
GUEST PROFESSOR
The Board of Directors (B.D.) may, following
a proposal from the Faculty, bestow the
honorary title of «Guest Professor» on any
person engaged in teaching activities who
meets the following criteria:
• The honorary title of Guest Lecturer or
Guest Professor is reserved for teaching
staff from other universities in Belgium
or abroad, or from other equivalent
institutions, and for members of the
university’s teaching staff who have retired
and have received permission to continue
teaching.
• “Invited” titles may also be bestowed, on
a personal basis, to individuals who are
not members of the scientific staff body or
F.S.R.-FNRS* agents, are attached to the
university, hold a PhD, or have previously
received authorisation to teach in higher
education.
Each Faculty shall, in line with the above
requirements, implement its own set of rules
governing the award of these honorary titles.
The person having received the honorary title
may use such title throughout the academic
year(s) covered by his/her engagement.
The person may not use the academic title
«Lecturer» or «Professor».
In accordance with the B.D. resolutions
of July and September 1998, holders of
honorary titles do not receive remuneration,
but may receive compensation for travel
expenses.
Each Faculty may propose up to six
individuals for such titles each year. The
Faculty must submit a detailed proposal,
with relevant evidence, for each person
concerned.
Guest Professors will be required to sign
a tripartite agreement with the home
institution and ULg.
At his/her request, the Guest Professor may
be granted Visiting Researcher status (see
page 9).
