During the end-of-year period in 2025, we take a step back to rest and reflect. But we are planning plenty of 2026 activities for researchers and stakeholders. Consider yourself invited! 

We will continue with our monthly reading group. The next meeting will take place on Thursday, January 15. We'll be discussing the book Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. You can find more information on the reading group page. Everyone is welcome to join us! 

In 2026, the programme will again contain multiple lunch lectures as well. During the Spring, you'll have a few opportunities to come to the University of Antwerp for interesting talks and conversations by/with death scholars and researchers. We hope these events will enrich the research and work practices of those attending. More information will follow here and in our newsletter. 

Autumn 2026 our second public symposium will take place. We look forward to sharing the theme and date of the symposium with you very soon.
