Finally, with the support of Wallonia-Brussels International in collaboration with our Flemish colleagues and the Fulbright commission, a Belgian networking event was organized at the Philadelphia Center for Architecture and Design. This reception brought together more than 250 guests. As the representative of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the Vice-Rector of the University of Mons, Mr. Alain Vande Wouwer gave the opening speech of this very successful evening.
