Vrije Universiteit Brussel invites you to WiseNight, an interactive Science Festival in Brussels
WiseNight is a fun and inclusive event that aims to bring science and scientists in contact with the public interactively. We aim to show that science is about passion, teamwork and for anyone with an insatiable curiosity to discover and change the world. Find us this year in one of the spheres of Brussels Atomium.
WiseNight is part of the European Researchers’ Night, taking place everywhere in Europe simultaneously. Join us on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September 2026 to marvel at the universe, explore the depths of water and oceans research, unearth the wonders of our lands and forests, and discover what being a scientist is all about.
