The arrival of spring saw a huge amount of Group T students and staff leave on study trips and recruitment missions.

Study trips
Over 100 bachelor students and staff from the Leuven Engineering College are staying in China till April 11 for the 10th edition of the China Project. They visit Chinese universities and companies, and mingle with local students.

A number of them participate in research into education in Indonesia for their theworld@groupt project.
