Every year the Ruusbroec Institute invites several (international) scholars to present their research. The goals of these Spring Lectures are twofold:
- to offer scholars an opportunity to discuss their research, and benefit from the expertise of the Ruusbroec Institute
- to create an opportunity for the Ruusbroec Institute to benefit from the insights of the latest research
In 2024 the Spring Lectures will take place on Friday afternoons in March, April, May and June on the City Campus of the University of Antwerp.
Location: Annex, Rodestraat 14 (entrance through Lange Winkelstraat) or digitally on Teams
Time: 14.00 -16.00
