CALL FOR CHALLENGES

We connect study programmes, lecturers and students with the professional field, organizations and society.

Organizations are confronted with challenges on a daily basis and our education system is always looking for meaningful learning experiences for students. Call for Challenges is a platform that connects both and facilitates collaboration.

Are you looking for socially relevant challenges and assignments to use in your education as a lecturer at Ghent University? Or do you have a challenge as an organization and would you like to have students work out a solution for this? Register to connect with interesting challenges and courses and post your own challenge or course online!
