The Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences at the University of the Free State (UFS) was visited by Prof. Marc de Clercq, Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration of the University of Ghent, Belgium, to explore the possibilities of collaboration in education and research in the field of economics and management. The two universities have signed a collaboration agreement in 2007. Prof. De Clercq was accompanied by Prof. Luc D’Haese, Extraordinary Professor of Rural Economy and Development Economics, and Advisor to the Rector on international affairs. This visit will be followed by a video conference to plan for further cooperation implementation, and for a reciprocal visit by UFS to Ghent later this year.
