We welcomed Prof. Sara Bals from the University of Antwerp and held an invited seminar and exchange event related to the JD Program.
Following the seminar, she toured and inspected the research facilities of IGSES campus, where active discussions took place regarding the research activities and future collaboration.
In the subsequent session, she joined presentations and discussions led by IGSES graduate students and faculty members, providing an excellent opportunity to further deepen academic exchanges between the University of Antwerp and our Graduate School.
