To celebrate the UN Portuguese Language Day, the AABBAV warmly invites you to the virtual event "Encontros". The goal is to gather Brazilians and Belgians to informally (but also seriously) share their experiences of academic and scientific life in Belgium or in connection with Brazil. After each brief presentation, we will have open conversations and exchanges. This is an opportunity to reflect, share, and learn about the hidden rules and norms of Belgian and Brazilian academic life. No matter your seniority.
moderator: Prof Luis Rocha - UGent
Date: May 5, 2026, from 18h to 19h.
Venue: Online via MSTeams. Link will be shared later.
The meeting is free and open to Brazilian and Belgian academics active in Belgium and Luxembourg.
The meeting is organised by the AABBAV Events Committee (Luis Rocha).
