Events

An important objective of the Lieven Gevaert Centre (LGC) is the organization of conferences, lectures, seminars and workshops as well as the dissemination of the LGC’s research and scholarship in order to make it profitable for the whole community (with a strong emphasis on the organization of exhibitions and other presentational platforms).
