KU Leuven, Belgium 2019-2020 Report 1 optional; only if you allow students preparing for study abroad to contact you permission to publish (directly) contact details** my e-mail address yes: [email protected] faculty/college Humanities level bachelor’s master’s PhD name study programme Liberal Arts and Sciences destination city & country Leuven, Belgium how did you travel to your Train destination? name university abroad KU Leuven start date 23 / 09 / 2019 (dd/mm/yyyy) end date 31/ / 01 / 2020 (dd/mm/yyyy) PREPARATION exchange application process The process was fairly easy. Of course some work was required to write an adequate motivation letter, but the 'how's and when's' were explained clearly and could easily be found online. Whenever I had any questions, the UU International Office was easy to contact and very helpful. counselling & support at Utrecht University Like I said, the UU International Office was very helpful with any questions I had. Whenever I had questions about details of the Erasmus grant, my question was forwarded and replied to quickly by the Erasmus-branch of the International Office. academic preparation I had to make sure I stayed on course with my studies at Utrecht, but because I already had the required amount of ECTS, there was not much academic preparation I had to do. language preparation Lucky for me the only languages I was taking courses in were English and Dutch, in which I'm both fluent. finances With help from the Erasmus grant and some help from my parents, combined with my own savings, I was able to finance my exchange. -

Universities, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Criteria and Examples of Good Practice Cover Picture Idea by Andrea R
UNIVERSITIES, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CRITERIA AND EXAMPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE Cover picture Idea by Andrea R. Hofer; layout by Nadine Gräske; source: stockxpert.com Layout & Design Nadine Gräske // visual & digital communication // www.graeske.net © OECD 2009 UNIVERSITIES, INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP CRITERIA AND EXAMPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE UNIVERSITY, CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION: LEADING THE WAY TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP Eastern Germany is well on its way to becoming a modern economy and developing its high growth potential. Start-ups and young businesses have become key contributors to the region’s growth due to their dynamism and their capacity to renew the local knowledge base. In the context of a global economic crisis, we need to reflect upon the role of start-ups and their capacity to contribute to local economic development. Over the last years, the entrepreneurship activity gap between western and eastern Germany has been significantly reduced, leading to almost equal levels in both parts of the country. The total business start-up rate in Germany, amongst the age group 18 to 6 years, was 1.7 percent in 2007. The entrepreneurial potential however, especially amongst the highly qualified, is far from being exhausted. Studies show that in addition to the entrepreneurial culture within regions, education also plays a considerable role in developing entrepreneurial activity. In order to further explore the link between education and entrepreneurship, we requested the OECD to carry out a study on the three east-German university -

Dr. Gerald Haug Version: February 2020
Curriculum Vitae Prof. (ETHZ)* Dr. Gerald Haug Version: February 2020 Name: Gerald H. Haug Born: 14 April 1968 in Karlsruhe, Germany Major Scientific Interests: Paleoclimatology, Marine Geology, Paleoceanography, Climate and Societies Gerald Haug is a paleoclimatologist, marine geologist and paleoceanographer. He studies the development of the Earth climate over thousands to millions of years. He analyses sediment cores from the sea floor and lakes, amongst several other climate archives. The chemical composition of the different sediment layers provides clues to the prevailing climatic conditions at the time of deposition. This allows quantitative reconstructions of past climate conditions and the underlying processes in the ocean, atmosphere and climate system.
