The ESA Acceleration Days, are an initiative by the European Space Agency supported by Sopra Steria Belgium. Modelled after fast-paced competition formats such as hackathons and innovation sprints, these in-person events bring together top teams to advance space innovation and address Europe’s most pressing issues.
One of the upcoming events is an innovation sprint on ‘Accelerate Crisis Preparedness’, which will take place from June 30 to July 4, 2025, at the ESA ESEC site in Redu, Belgium. The event is open to SMEs, startups, industry players from ESA Member States. Call-out to innovators to harness the power of space – from satellite navigation and communications to geospatial intelligence – for mass evacuation preparedness, starting from a concrete use case: the mass evacuation of a stadium affected by a crisis. In co-design with ESA, Safe.Brussels, and the Police of Brussels South, this 5-day sprint aims to foster the creation of bold, user-driven and AI-powered solutions that enhance crowd management and mass evacuation in case of emergency or crisis.

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
