International Seminar : Belgium at crossroads
An international seminar organized by Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University titled Belgium at Crossroads will take place on Wednesday, May 30th at Tel Aviv University (Naftali Building for Social Sciences, Zeev Segal Hall 003) from 15:30 to 18:30. The seminar is open to the public. Belgium has long puzzled political scientists. This country in the heart of Europe has made a most unusual journey from a unitary state to a full-blown federal system. Along the way, it went through several crises but survived thanks to creative constitutional solutions. Belgian professors Bruno de Wever, Philippe Van Parijs and Astrid von Busekist will debate with Israeli experts. Join us on this academic voyage through a system that encompasses multiple cultures, languages, economic backgrounds. For program click here
Visit Brussels while enjoying a gastronomic meal
This year's Brusselicious theme puts the spotlight on Belgian gastronomy. One of the main attractions is the "Tram Experience" which provides a wonderful opportunity to discover Brussels by night while enjoying a three-course menu put together by a star-rated chef. Seven Belgian twin-star chefs have been commissioned to prepare new versions of traditional Belgian dishes and to offer menus that highlight their own restaurants, with a focus on top-quality produce and seasonal ingrediens. The tram can welcome a total of 34 guests with seven tables for two people and five tables for four people. The cost is 75 euro per person and includes a three-course menu, two glasses of bubbly, two glasses of white wine, two glasses of red wine and soft drinks. If you haven't visited Brussels yet, this year is the perfect time! www.brusselicious.be
About Belgium

But Belgium is much more than that. (Picture used with the permission of www.hotels-belgium , www.trabel.com & www.arakea.com'. All rights reserved) >> Read more
