Ghent

One is from Tunisia and is still getting used to the Belgians’ open mentality in the workplace. The other comes from Russia and can make no sense of all the unspoken rules. Both are researchers at Ghent University, and both have fallen in love with the city of Ghent. Safa Belghith and Ekaterina Longinova tell us about their experiences in Ghent.

Every year, the City of Ghent organises the election of Student of the Year to mark the festive end of the academic year. This year exceptionally 2 extra laureates, both of them from Ghent University, were chosen. Meet Emma and Nicolas.
