Various events including lectures, exhibitions, music and performances will be held so that visitors can experience Belgium‘s diverse culture,” said school acting president Han Tae-jun.
The school expressed hope that the festival would grow into a major foreign cultural event in Incheon.
The Belgian university opened its campus in Songdo in 2014 and three undergraduate programs including one on environmental engineering.
