    Testimonials:

    'The Campus team were fantastic, and took care of setting up the rooms, arranging the catering, welcoming the 30 students and making sure everything went smoothly. A really memorable trip to Brussels that really helped the cohort get to know each other, which then had so much benefit for the group dynamic throughout the rest of the academic year.' 

    Dr. Christine Arnold, Director of Studies MA European Public Affairs (2017 - 2020)

    "In order to get better acquainted with the ‘Brussels scene’ in terms of funding opportunities, a 24 person delegation of the SBE management and board visited Brussels, incl. the UM Brussels Campus and the European Parliament. In the morning, the Campus provided excellent facilities to host speakers from DG RTD and EASSH. Additionally, lunch was provided at the Campus, followed by a brainstorming session in several small groups. In the afternoon, the group strolled to the European Parliament for a guided tour and the -very successful- day ended with dinner at a nice Brussels restaurant."
