This first edition of the DIF-event is organised by the Department of Work, Economy, Science, Innovation and Social Economy in cooperation with VLAIO and Flanders Technology & Innovation (FTI) under the umbrella of the Flemish Innovation and Industry Strategy for Security and Defence (VISD).

It is designed to look at recent developments and future perspectives in defence innovation. The programme also aims to create opportunities for discussion and exchange with key people working at the intersection of technology, innovation and defence.

Defence Innovation in Flanders Day is being set up as a meeting point for people interested in defence innovation in Flanders. It is intended to cover recent developments in the field and to look ahead at future perspectives, while also giving participants space to exchange views and experiences with relevant stakeholders.

A formal invitation with more information on the programme and practical arrangements is expected to follow later. 

Interested participants can save the date and contact VISD at visd@vlaanderen.be for interim questions.

PLEDGE: VUB participates in research on politics of grievance and democratic governance

The Horizon Europe project PLEDGE investigates the emotional dynamics of political protest in the context of multiple, overlapping crises that have affected Europe and the world over the past decade, including the financial crisis, the COVID‑19 pandemic, climate change, energy shortages, and the war in Ukraine.

The project, in which the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is participating, responded to call topic HORIZON-CL2-2023-DEMOCRACY-01-04.
