For the first time in Belgium, we will organise a Soapbox Science event. Given the COVID-19 situation, this will be a virtual event. On October 10, researchers from across Belgium will participate in a livestreaming session to share their work and their passion with the public. From space sciences to biology, passing by health science and chemistry, those women researchers will bring science online!
