Student umbrella organizations Unifac & NOVA, your first point of contact
What do Unifac and NOVA do?

Why have your association recognized?
Would you like to start a new student association or have an existing association officially recognised? Recognition by UAntwerp gives your association the support it needs to organise activities, grow and build a strong organisation.
As a recognised student association, you can benefit from:
The opportunity to apply for funding for your activities and operations.
Guidance and advice from UAntwerp’s Department of Student Services, NOVA, Unifac and the student network coordinators.
A place within the student network through the association council of your campus cluster.
Practical support, such as help with organising activities and access to storage space.
