As the grand finale, the outstanding and best delegations were announced. With a large number of fine delegations all eager to win an award, the temperature in the Aula quickly rose to tropical levels. These tensions were relieved by making public the outstanding delegation: the Catholic University of Louvain. With great consternation, a Belgian flag and the same vigor as shown during their rendition of the Belgian national anthem at the Global Village, the Belgians celebrated their achievement. Nonetheless, there was still one award to be given away: that of best delegation. After the obligatory drum rolls, lots of firework and many grand words, Tilburg University’s delegation was bestowed with this honor. Characterizing true winners, their reaction was as joyful as it was restrained. Subsequently, the ceremony was closed by Secretary-General Tom van Assendelft de Coningh. Exhausted but satisfied, the delegates and staff left for their airplane, some well-deserved rest, or perhaps even more beer and debate.
