FDIB Antwerp from the University of Florida

The thirteen (13) day faculty study abroad program offered in conjunction with the University of Antwerpen is designed primarily for faculty from business, foreign language, and area/cultural studies. Participants are exposed to the latest developments in European business/economic issues to develop an increased understanding of today's European Union (EU). Seminars/presentations by leading academic, business and political experts. On-site visits to business/ industries/government organizations. Side trips to historic/cultural sites. All seminars and lectures are conducted in English.

"The faculty development program in Antwerp provided me a unique opportunity to expand my knowledge of the politics and formal decision-making structures of the European Union to incorporate the economic and business-related implications of integration in such diverse areas as human resource management, internal EU trade, and even the intersection of business 'best practices' and the environment."
