This year the annual InterSearch Conference took place from the 21^st until the 24^th of March. In 2018, Belgium hosted this event and SDA took the lead for the organization in Bruges. This year this honour was bestowed upon Shanghai, the largest town in China. 

On 21 February, the annual Schelstraete Delacourt Talent Awards were presented to the winners of the participating educational institutions – University of Ghent, Faculty of Psychology; University of Ghent, Faculty of Commercial Sciences; University of Antwerp; Dutch-speaking Free University of Brussels; Catholic University of Leuven; Catholic University of Leuven, Brussels Campus; University of Liège; French-speaking Free University of Brussels; Catholic University of Louvain.

The office’s brand-new meeting room with its unique view over Ghent’s three famous towers provided the setting for this festive evening.

The award-winning theses were presented by each of the winners. The topics were as varied as they were innovative, with Human Resources in the broad sense of the term as the common thread.

The whole event was superbly enhanced by a performance from soloist Penelope Turner, accompanied by Andrew Wise on piano. They performed a varied programme in their own particular style which was greatly appreciated by the audience.

What a day, what a team, what a run!

On Sunday, 14 October 2018, 60 runners from six countries took part in Run4Brain, an initiative of Schelstraete Delacourt Associates, Ghent University and University Hospital Ghent in support of brain research. Together, they ran the “20 km de Paris”, a tough course through the French capital, starting and finishing at the iconic Eiffel Tower.
