Events

The Events Team is responsible for the organization of, in particular, Studentwelcome, where all students can kick off the academic year with a bang, the gala ball, where they can enjoy a classy soirée and the Big Jump Run, where students run on bouncy castles and compete against each other to set their fastest time!

Studentwelcome

Since 1990, the Student Welcome has been organized at the Oude Markt in Leuven, an event that has grown into a well-known tradition in the city. Every year, no less than 12,000 students gather to celebrate the start of the new academic year. This year, Industria has joined the organization with the aim of breathing new life into the event and taking it to the next level. Thanks to this collaboration, the Student Welcome promises to be even bigger and more exciting—an event that Leuven’s students won’t want to miss.

Galabal

Like many other unions, Industria organizes a gala every year and the Events Team is also responsible for this. As one of the few unions Leuven, we can proudly say that our gala ball takes place on our own beautiful campus. Every year, Groep T is transformed into a stylish ballroom with an original theme, where you can dance and drink all night long in your fancy dress or tailored suit.

Big Jump Run

After all the crazy parties where the leuvens gold is flowing, there is of course also a need for sports. That is why Events provides the Big Jump Run where you can cross the Oude Markt in a competition against your friends or competing student unions on a bouncy castle of up to 90 meters long! This year we organize this event in collaboration with VTK.
