Summary of study trip to Belgium "10 Days to Brexit"

A class study trip to Belgium, travelling to Brussels and based in the Irish College Leuven has just concluded (see photo). This optional 3-day activity covered lectures and visits to sites at the cutting edge of innovation in Europe.
We had lectures from the KU Leuven Research & Development Unit, UCD, and the European Shippers Council on supply chain digitalisation. We visited the offices of DataCamp, the Data Science learning platform headquartered in Leuven; the Microsoft Innovation Centre, Health House and Living Tomorrow demonstrator labs; and we visited the European Commission with presentations from DG Communication and DG Connect on Pan-European Digital Innovation Hubs.
