What CityLAB participants from previous editions say
"The summer school was a great experience in the lovely city of Antwerpen. Good quality of lectures with very approachable professors made it fun to participate. Most enjoyable was the interdisciplinary backgrounds of the fellow participants. During breaks and in the evening we were discussing many aspects of sustainability, which was lots of fun." (2024)
"I liked the fact that it is an interdisciplinary and 100% international summer school. The concept and programme were great, as well as the food and care!" (2019)
"The way the lectures were given was very involving and organizers welcomed questions and discussion right in the process of the lecture. Very diverse students helped to see the problem from the angles I would never even imagined existed." (2018)
"An excellent course. I would highly recommend similar courses to colleagues." (2017)
"The summer school had a very interesting and diverse group of participants; a programme that crosses disciplines; and a good combination of talks and field trips." (2018)
