‘The Blue Growth Summer School was an amazing experience
I learnt a lot from different disciplines. We were very well taken care of and both the staff and lecturers seemed to explode with enthusiasme . Mostly though the course made me think what
I want to do with the rest of my life.
It has been that little nudge that I needed to pursue a career
in the marine and maritime field.’
Max Minne, Student master Bio-engineer, Ghent Univeristy, Belgium

‘The possibility of getting to know students from all over the world with the same interest in the marine and maritime sector is unique. The different approached to the field are higly inspiring and very useful for further cooperation in my future career.
I would strongly recommend other students to participate in the future editions of BGSS’.
