Visa

If you need a visa to come to Belgium, the VUB International Relations Office recommends applying for a Schengen visa type C for tourism (up to 90 days). Should you encounter problems or need additional documentation for your application, such as a letter of invitation, please contact the VUB International Relations Office by email: international.relations@otrs.vub.be.

 

Location

The third edition of the Summer School will take place at the Learning & Innovation Center (LIC) on the VUB Main Campus, within walking distance of the train station “Etterbeek” and less than 30 minutes away from the centre of Brussels by public transport. You can find a map of the university campus here. The LIC is located next to the building S, at the address Pleinlaan 2 (Boulevard de la Plaine 2), 1050 Elsene (Ixelles). We strongly advise participants to use the rich public transport network Brussels offers to get to campus and around Brussels. Directions for every mode of transport (including travel by car and by air) can be found here.
