This is certainly an exciting new adventure, as well as a challenging one. Thomas More students are encouraged to push themselves outside of their comfort zones – to explore, to learn, to thrive – and we are here to help you make that happen! This Welcome Guide includes everything you need to know while starting your new chapter in Belgium. Do you ever ask yourself, “How will I find a place to live?” or “What happens if I get sick and need to see a doctor?” Then, you’ve come to the right place. Check here for advice on how to open a bank account, how to sign up for health insurance, how to get a Belgian cell phone number and more. And, if you don’t find what you need here, or just want a bit more guidance, that’s no problem. In the ‘student resources’ section of this guide, you will find a list of support services for students. Don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for help. We are here for you. Now, let’s start this new journey together!

THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES – WELCOME GUIDE 4 Checklist for studying in Belgium Here you'll find a checklist of all the things you need to do before you get to Belgium and once you arrive. On the following pages, you'll find a detailed explanation of every item on the checklist. Be sure to tick every box for a smooth departure and arrival in Belgium! THOMAS MORE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES – WELCOME GUIDE 5 What should I do before I arrive? Apply for a student visa If you come from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), then applying for a student visa is the first step you will need to take before coming to Belgium. DO I NEED A STUDENT VISA? Yes, if you come from a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA) – other than Monaco or Switzerland – then you will need a visa before coming to Belgium for your studies. No, if you are a student coming from an EEA country, Monaco or Switzerland, you will not need a visa and may travel to Belgium on the strength of your national passport or identity card, but all other students (both exchange and full degree) will need to apply for a visa before coming to Belgium. WHEN SHOULD I START THE VISA APPLICATION PROCESS? It’s important that you start the visa application process as soon as possible, but be aware that a visa application can be submitted no more than 3 months in advance of the date you have requested to enter Belgium. For Fall 2020, classes start on the 21st of September, but you should plan to be in Belgium at least one week before in order to attend the Welcome Days and get settled into your accommodation. For Spring 2021, classes start on the 15th of February (for Content Strategy and Customer Experience, the start date is the 1st of February), but you should plan to be in Belgium at least one week before in order to attend the Welcome Days and get settled into your accommodation. The duration of the visa application process can vary depending on your nationality. Visa processing can take as little as 4 weeks, but many students have to wait up to 3 months to receive their visa once they have

ABSTRACT. Stratigraphic analysis of cored and geophysically logged boreholes in the Kasterlee-Geel-Retie-Mol-Dessel area of the Belgian Campine has established the presence of two lithostratigraphic units between the classical Diest and Mol Formations, geometrically related to the type Kasterlee Sand occurring west of the Kasterlee village and the study area. A lower ‘clayey Kasterlee’ unit, equivalent to the lithology occurring at the top of the Beerzel and Heist-op-den-Berg hills, systematically occurs to the east of the Kasterlee village. An overlying unit has a pale colour making it lithostratigraphically comparable to Mol Sand although its fine grain size, traces of glauconite and geometrical position have traditionally led stratigraphers to consider it as a lateral variety of the type Kasterlee Sand; it has been named the ‘lower Mol’ or ‘Kasterlee-sensu-Gulinck’ unit in this study.

The booklets provide a detailed account of key actions of the war for those familiar with the period, as well as serving as an educational tool for younger people less familiar with the heroic actions of Allied Service personnel. In this, the sixth booklet in the series, we commemorate the way the Royal Navy and the RAF combined so effectively with the 21st Army Group and made such a rapid leap forward from the Seine to Antwerp. August 1944 presented the Allies with a unique opportunity to lunge like a rapier through German-held Belgium and the Netherlands and end the war in weeks rather than months. To enable such a rapid advance, the well-fortified channel ports had to be cleared of German forces and opened up to Allied ships carrying the hundreds of tons of fuel and ammunition needed to sustain the effectiveness of the rapidly advancing Armour and Infantry.

  • Belgian Nuclear Research Centre Mol Belgium
    BELGIAN NUCLEAR RESEARCH CENTRE MOL BELGIUM 30-49 SCK-CEN's core competence is nuclear research using complex infrastructures. The year 1997 saw the restart of our BR2 materials testing reac- tor after refurbishment (cover photograph) and the onset of the excavation of the second shaft to our underground research facility in clay. T"t ™ Y HE BELGIAN NUCLEAR RESEARCH CENTRE (SCK« CEN) is an institute y of public utility under the tutorship of the Belgian minister in JL charge of energy. About 600 highly qualified researchers and technicians realize an annual turnover of three billion Belgian francs, 50% being covered by a governmental subsidy and 50% by contract work and services for the Belgian and foreign industry and for the European Union. The primary mission of SCK>CEN is research and development in the fields of the safety of nuclear installations, the safe handling and disposal of radioactive waste, and radiation protection and safeguards. It is converted in concrete projects, based on the current priorities of the Belgian authorities and of our customers. The main current projects are, in the field of nuclear safety, • the behaviour of high-burnup and MOX fuel, mostly in collaboration with Belgonucleaire; • the embrittlement of reactor pressure vessels; • the irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking of reactor internals; • the irradiation effects on materials for fusion reactors; in the field of radioactive waste research, • the disposal in geological clay formations of high-level radioactive waste and of spent fuel; • the decommissioning of nuclear installations, in particular of the pressurized-water reactor BR3; • the study of alternative waste-processing techniques, such as transmutation; in the field of radiation protection and safeguards, • site and environmental restoration; • emergency planning and response; • scientific support to the programmes of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), of the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organiza- tion of Economic Co-ordination and Development (NEA/OECD), and of the European Union.
