Everybody working at Ghent university is welcome at these meetings.

Please be aware that most meetings are in Dutch but one meeting (on October 3rd 2018, see above), will be in English. In this meeting, we will specifically focus on international researchers. Beside explaining briefly the new policy for scientific staff, we will go in more depth into the specific issues that international researchers face. We will give a brief explanation of the basics of Belgian labor law and your rights as international researcher, about residence status for researchers and other practical problems that might arise while working and living in Belgium.

If you have specific questions that you want to see answered, do not hesitate to contact us through acod@ugent.be. We will try to include the answer in our presentation. Of course, you can always ask your questions at the meeting as well.

For practical reasons, we would ask you to subscribe through this link. We will provide sandwiches for those who subscribed. Of course, if you decide only at the last moment to join, you can also participate without subscribing.
