🌎 Last week, our Policy Advisor Flore De Pauw represented the Delegation of Flanders to the USA at the NAFSA 2026 Conference and Education Fair, held from 26-29 May in Orlando (Florida) under the theme “Global by Design”.

This year’s theme highlighted the importance of thoughtful internationalization, bold innovation, meaningful storytelling, and sustainable practices in higher education worldwide.

Throughout the week, Flemish institutions, including KU Leuven, Ghent University, University of Antwerp, HOWEST and HOGENT, engaged with a wide range of American universities to strengthen partnerships and explore new collaboration opportunities.

We were also proud to co-host a Belgian Networking Reception, together with the Consulate General of Belgium in Atlanta, the Flemish Higher Education Council (VLUHR), Wallonia-Bruxelles International and Fulbright Belgium.

The reception provided a great opportunity to bring together Belgian and international partners from across the higher education community and to further strengthen our global academic connections.

NAFSA once again proved to be a valuable platform to foster transatlantic cooperation in higher education and innovation.
