Studying in Belgium - Testimonies by ICP-scholarship students

September 2025 - In this Community Talk four ICP students will share their personal journeys of studying and living in Belgium. 

From how they prepared for their move to Belgium, to their best memories and the surprising cultural habits they’ve noticed – and of course, what they’ll miss most once they leave.

Each speaker will have a few minutes to tell their story, followed by plenty of space for interaction and exchange. This special edition is meant to connect current ICP students with the new students arriving in September, creating a moment of sharing, inspiration, and community.

Speakers:

• Francine Benson (Zimbabwe) – Nematology (UGent)
• Christian Farfan Llanos (Bolivia) – Water Resources Engineering (VUB/KU Leuven)
• Rocel Tadina (Philippines) - Transportation Sciences (UHasselt)
