FTI Brussel : Back to the Future | Afterwork

Could jackfruit be just as delicious (and have a lower climate impact) than the meat in your grandma's beef stew? Can you imagine yourself walking around in shoes made from fungi? And what if AI would be making all your decisions?

During a visionary after-work session, the trailblazers of the tech world will discard academic jargon for impactful visuals, offering a glimpse into the groundbreaking innovations that will shape our future.

Exchange ideas with these visionaries and the broader VUB community at the bar of the former officers' mess at U-Square.

Speakers:
Joris de Hoog (VUB), Carmen Mazijn (VUB & the Belgian Foreign Ministry), Eveline Peeters (VUB), Jan Steyaert (VUB), Ingrid Van de Voorde (Nokia Bell Labs), Liesbeth van Oeffelen (BiosenSource), Lise Vermeersch (VUB)

Presentations will be in English
