Golden Chalks

Dear students/dear professors,

Are you curious which professors and assistants won the Golden Chalks? Or do you want to immerse yourself in the archives (https://vtk.be/en/page/parent/onderwijs/name/gouden-krijtjes-archief/) and see who earned a Golden Chalks the precious years? Look no further!

What are the Golden Chalks? Every year the educational team of VTK awards the Golden Chalks, kind of like the Oscars of our faculty. They are determined by the students in the categories of best assistant, best course material and best and funniest professor to reward the professors and assistants for their efforts in education.

At the moment there is no voting open, but when the elections open again a link will also be posted here.

If you are a professor or assistant and see your name appear in one of these tables, then we would like to congratulate you for your Golden Chalk!

You can find all the photos from this year here.

Do you still have questions? Do not hesitate to send an email to

The educational team of VTK
