New group of Master students start their studies with field trip to Brussels

10-12 October 2011: It has become a good tradition: the Master's Programme in Spatial Development and Analysis ( www.spatial.uni.lu ) starts with a field trip to Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve. The purpose of such a field trip at the very beginning is twofold: First, it gives students and tutors the opportunity to get to know each other and to test the students' conceptual and methodological precognition with the help of practical field work. Second, the students gain insight into the functioning of European institutions and their influence on spatial development by visiting various institutions based in Brussels. This year, the group also attended sessions of the “Open Days – European Week of Regions and Cities”.
