Open/closed

Regular office hours are from 9h00 till 17h00, from Monday till Friday.  We usually have a lunch break of approximately one hour, between 12h-14h.

UGent and IRO are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, on official Belgian and Flemish holidays, during the "Gentse Feesten" and in between Christmas and New Year.  Do not hesitate to make an appointment, as it is difficult - if not impossible - to predict when we are on private holidays, on a mission abroad, in a meeting, etc.
