Explore our University of Applied Sciences and Arts
during the HOGENT
Week Without Borders.
March, 23-27 2026
We are pleased to invite you to the HOGENT Week Without Borders in Ghent (Belgium) from 23 to 27 March 2026. During these days, our educational programmes and research centres will design experimental activities, that allow HOGENT students to engage with societal challenges in collaboration with partners from the field, the broader community and international organisations. We warmly encourage you to contribute to these activities.
What kind of student activities are possible?
Anything is possible! Think of (guest)lectures, workshops, social activities, debate, business game, hackathon, project work, and more. You can collaborate with colleagues from our educational programmes and/or research centres.
How can you contribute to a student activity?
- Option 1 - you already have a contact at HOGENT: Let them know you are interested and start planning your activity together.
- Option 2 - you don't have any contacts at HOGENT yet: Mail to io@hogent.be and we will help facilitate the match-making process.
The registration deadline for activities is 30 November 2025, so we can start assembling the student programme.
Not involved in student activities?
No worries! You are still very welcome to join the inspiring 'international partner programme'. During the last three days of the week - Wednesday 25 to Friday 27 March – our International Office provides a programme full of activities, giving international guests the opportunity to explore HOGENT in all its facets and network with colleagues from HOGENT and abroad. Come explore the wide array of facilities we offer to both local and international students, gain insights in our approach to internationalisation, and discover the pivotal role sustainability plays in everything we do. Choose from a variety of campus tours to explore our cutting-edge resources in research, educational technology, and multimedia. Additionally, we aim to provide opportunities for networking and to introduce you to the charm and vibrancy of the wonderful city of Ghent.
Looking forward to welcoming you at HOGENT University of Applied Sciences and Arts!
Registration for attending the international partner programme starts in November 2025 and remains open until the end of February 2026.
