In February 2025, we welcomed 58 students from all over the world to our winter school on Sustainable Transport, Shipping and Logistics designed to empower participants with necessary skills and expertise in the fast-changing transport, shipping, and logistics industries.

Reactions from participants

It was great opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge of shipping and logistics. I am grateful for this possibility to visit and study at University of Antwerp!

Paola, from the Netherlands

The interactive and collaborative approach of teaching by all the professors is commendable.The port visit with Dr. Vanelslander was an amazing experience. I was really surprised with how much Dr. Vanelslander knows about Antwerp (he is like a walking encyclopedia!!) I really appreciate Mr. Raimonds Aronietis, for always being there for the participants and helping with every small and big thing during the course of the winter school. He is very friendly and made us feel at home.
