“Decarbonising Belgium: Bridging Silos, Building Futures”

We’re kicking things off in style — and you’re invited!

Join us on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, at the iconic Flagey venue for the launch of the SWIFFT collective “Decarbonising Belgium: Bridging Silos, Building Futures”, a collaboration between Helios Foundation, ULB and VUB.
📅 Wednesday, December 3, 2025
🕡 18h30 – 20h, followed by a cocktail reception 
📍 Flagey, Studio 4 and Foyers, Brussels
The urgency of energy and climate transitions demands a systemic response: we must now move beyond fragmented approaches toward collaborative strategies that connect research, policy, and community action.
Throughout an evening woven together by music, dance, and poetry, you will learn about the SWIFFT collective research goals and themes and discover seven trailblazing projects linking academic research and on the ground action. By building connections, we can align research, policy, and community action, ensuring that solutions are not only technically sound but also socially just and democratically grounded. 
So together, we will ask: from construction to housing, from food systems governance to energy communities, what pathways are necessary for scaling innovation to lead the way toward a cleaner, greener future for everyone? 
The event will be followed by a cocktail – to pursue this evening with a chance to connect, share, and exchange ideas and projects. 
This event is free, but registration is mandatory.
