Before your arrival

If you have accepted a PhD or a post-doctoral position in our department, you will be contacted by Hélène Kajianis. She will start collecting information and documents in order to initiate the grant fellowship procedure and she will guide you through the mandatory administrative steps related to your stay in Belgium.
