Brussels Science festival

Every last Sunday of November, FWO organizes the Brussels science festival in Muntpunt together with the other Brussels knowledge institutions (VUB – Odisee Hogeschool – Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels – KU Leuven campus Brussels and Scimingo).

Edition 2026

On Sunday 15 November 2026 we again celebrate the day of science ('Dag van de Wetenschap'), the biggest science event in Flanders and Brussels.

Brussels Science Festival is looking for enthusiastic researchers who want to contribute to a varied programme of activities, lectures, workshops and surprising formats (such as a scientific quiz, walk, comedy show, expo, etc.) for young and old.
