If you travel within Europe for work, you know the rule by now: if your destination can be reached by train within eight hours, UAntwerp asks you to avoid flying. But even for cities further afield, the train is often worthwhile – especially if you opt for a night train. Researchers Katrien Danhieux (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) and Kathleen Andries (Faculty of Business and Economics) demonstrated just that last spring on their trip to Budapest. They share their insights on sustainable travel, practical tips and the comfort of a moving hotel room.
Veronique Rega from the Library and Archives Department explains how the renovation of the library on Campus Groenenborger was a collaboration with students.

Of course, you will find everything you would expect at a library: books, quiet study spots, computers, places for group work, etc. But there is much more. How about 3D printing, laser cutting or vinyl cutting? All of this is possible in BibLab, a small makers’ lab.
Alain Verschoren, a passionate professor of mathematics and charming leader, died on 27 November 2020. To help compensate, the university has made a film portrait of its former rector.
