Ghent University goes for telework and digital teaching methods

Ufo - Last night the government announced that it recommends avoiding situations where many people come together. The government wants to reduce contacts between potentially infected and healthy people in order to delay the further spread of the corona virus. Ghent University is strictly following these recommendations. The university therefore recommends working from home and wants to make maximum use of digital teaching methods: - "I consulted experts both before and during the meeting with the other rectors on March, 10 because the knowledge of researchers and science prevails for me in this debate. The experts assured us that the corona problem must be taken very seriously. Because of that, Ghent University recommends the maximum use of telework for its staff members. With regard to educational activities, we want to make a transition to digital teaching methods as much as possible in the coming days.
