Antwerp is the city, and the rest is just parking. And that parking will come in handy, because in 2027 the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony is coming to Antwerp.

To everyone who attended the watchparty in 2026: congratulations! To everyone who missed it: shame on you - but go on then, you can have another try next year.

Our late Queen Elisabeth is opening up her hall for us – aka the Queen Elisabeth Hall – in September 2027. Put 5 September 2027 in your diary now, and in your gran’s while you’re at it, so no one misses out.

See you in 2027!
