Theme-based shared flat (kot-à-projet)

The project lasts for one academic year and can embrace cultural, social or humanitarian activities.

In the beginning, these theme-based shared flats were recognized as "student organizations" and were inspired by the (mostly Christian) community houses which existed before the Dutch–French separation.

Although mixed-sex accommodations remained officially banned, the university was allowed the theme-based shared flat's occupants to choose their flatmates.

Depending on their academic careers, students will generally stay in the same theme-based flat for at most two or three years.

Each year, this high turnover has to be compensated for by finding new people interested in taking the lead of the KàP.
