Let’s celebrate

January 16th 2020

starting at 18:30

To celebrate the most charming period of the year you are invited to the second edition of the Belgian Space Gathering. An annual reception where policy makers, senior scientists and captains of industry meet in an informal setting to mark the new year.

You will enjoy live music and culinary food at the glamorous and recently renovated Handelsbeurs, a historical heritage site which centuries ago was the economic heart of Antwerp.

This event offers a great opportunity for the Belgian Space Community to raise a toast to 2020 and exchange thoughts on the challenges ahead of us.
