Did you obtain your PhD degree in the past two years? Then the Flemish PhD Cup challenges you to convey to the general public the insights of the doctoral research you have been working on for years! Not through an academic lecture but told as a compelling and comprehensible story for non-peers. After an intense mediatraining, you will face the ultimate test: can you explain the core of your PhD in just… three minutes?

For postdoctoral researchers and final-year PhD researchers at UAntwerp

A free full-day event connecting researchers across disciplines who are interested in the rapidly evolving field of cognitive neuroscience.

Spatial omics is a rapidly growing field that enables researchers to study spatial patterns of gene and protein expression within tissues. By revealing how cells interact in their native environment, these technologies help map disease progression, immune infiltration and treatment responses.

Understanding and harnessing plant life is essential to human civilization. Plants not only feed a growing global population and support our quality of life, but also provide key renewable resources and energy. Plant research is therefore crucial for developing sustainable solutions that boost crop productivity and quality while supporting environmentally responsible agriculture.

Neuroimmunology stands at the exciting intersection of neuroscience and immunology, investigating the dynamic interactions between the nervous and immune systems and how these determine function and disease. Ongoing advancements are reshaping our understanding of the field and opening new avenues for research and therapeutic innovation.

VIB introduces AI and Computational Biology as the newest chapter in the conference series, building on the success of the Applied Bioinformatics in Life Sciences series, which has brought together leading experts since 2016 to advance the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology.
