AFIS is the Assembly for International Students. At this event, international students come together to express opinions and share their thoughts. Topics covered range from education to student participation, but also include questions around student life on and off our campuses.
What can I discuss at AFIS? Depending on the topical issues discussed by student representatives and volunteers from student associations, the focus of each AFIS meeting varies. This way, we can get a better picture of the international student atmosphere in Leuven and Brussels. Of course, you’re always welcome to add your own topics.
Why should I come? Come and enjoy the friendly atmosphere with friends, exchange ideas with other international students and your student representatives, and get a little thank you too!
Hearing your voice allows us to best represent you as an international student and advocate for your ideas to make the most of your time at KU Leuven.
Interested in AFIS? Our last AFIS of the semester at the Brussels campus took place on the 24th of April 2024. The next AFIS Leuven will take place later this semester, location and date TBA.
Do you have questions? Please check out our Frequently Asked Questions below. Please contact internationaal@stura.be if you have any further questions.
All international students are invited to express their opinion. If you are a Flemish student, we ask you to contact the student representatives of your faculty or the relevant Stura mandataries with your concerns.
We value your opinion as much as we value any other. It is very important that you give us your opinion on things that are working well so that we can get a full picture of the atmosphere of all international students. You can also spend a nice evening with your friends, meet new people and get to know your student representatives. You might even get a little something in return.
AFIS takes place up to two times per academic year.
Last year, AFIS was organized at campus Brussels and campus Leuven.
At AFIS we can discuss your concerns in confidence. We will provide a special room where you can voice your concerns with one of our student representatives. Please let us know during the event if you would like to talk about a sensitive issue with us. If necessary, we can refer you to the appropriate authorities.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch! You can contact internationaal@stura.be.
We are happy to help you.
