Visiting FEA

Although the presence of international staff and visiting scholars at universities is becoming the norm, getting employment abroad isn't always a carefree process. In some cases, a lot of time, effort and documents are needed before even arriving at your new place of work. Invest in getting ample information and prepare your stay well in advance.
The majority of scientific staff at Ghent University starts work by explicit invitation of a promotor.
