For those with a thirst for knowledge
Chronic fatigue, research on Spitzbergen, or modern tools in drug design are just some of the topics that will be presented to a broad audience by a consortium of European universities during the YUFE Academy.
Study without borders
Classes in Paris, Madrid or Antwerp, to name but a few, are within reach thanks to the YUFE Student Journey. The programme organised by the university consortium Young University for the Future of Europe, also offers classes online.
Happy Easter!
The upcoming Easter is a time of hope and joy.
On this occasion,
We wish you it brings meaning to small and large matters,
both important and seemingly insignificant,
And that we may always believe that the good has power,
and treat each other with mindfulness and respect.
Happy Easter!
