VUB makes research on dinosaurs accessible

On December 19, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is organizing a gathering for everyone eager to learn more about dinosaurs. "Dinosaurs on campus" brings together researchers from the field, takes the audience on a journey through various eras, and unveils mysteries of the Earth's history.

During "Dinosaurs on campus", international paleontologists and dinosaur experts will provide explanations about the dinosaur kingdom through presentations. The evening promises to be a captivating exploration of fossils and other creatures from the geological past of the Earth. Additionally, the gathering provides dino enthusiasts and the curious with the opportunity to engage in conversations with this team of experts.

"We are delighted to present parts of our research to the general public and immerse them in bygone times," says Koen Stein, VUB paleontologist. "My colleagues and I will be happy to answer all questions during the evening, both about dinosaur research and what it entails to practice the profession of paleontologist."

In addition to lectures and meetings, VUB includes accompanying side activities. There will be three signing sessions, and the evening will be enhanced by live music performed by the harmonieorkest of the academy of Etterbeek in collaboration with the VUB Orchestra. Registration is free and can be done via this link.

About Press - Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Vrije Universiteit Brussel is an internationally oriented university in Brussels, the heart of Europe. By providing excellent research and education on a human scale, VUB wants to make an active and committed contribution to a better society.

The World Needs You

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel assumes its scientific and social responsibility with love and decisiveness. That’s why VUB launched the platform De Wereld Heeft Je Nodig – The World Needs You, which brings together ideas, actions and projects based on six Ps. The first P stands for People, because that’s what it’s all about: giving people equal opportunities, prosperity, welfare, respect. Peace is about fighting injustice, big and small, in the world. Prosperity combats poverty and inequality. Planet stands for actions on biodiversity, climate, air quality, animal rights... With Partnership, VUB is looking for joint actions to make the world a better place. The sixth and last P is for Poincaré, the French philosopher Henri Poincaré, from whom VUB derives its motto that thinking should submit to nothing except the facts themselves. VUB is an ‘urban engaged university’, strongly anchored in Brussels and Europe and working according to the principles of free research.
