WiseNight is a free, inclusive and interactive science festival that brings researchers and the public together. Through workshops, talks, performances, exhibitions and encounters with scientists, they want to show that science is driven by curiosity, passion and teamwork — and that it is for everyone.
WiseNight offers a continuous programme for all ages and dedicated workshops for children aged 6–14. For the activities in the Waterkeyn hall and for groups of 6 people or more, prior registration is required via this form. More information about the programme, activities and locations is available on the Wisenight website.
Background
WiseNight is part of the MSCA European Researchers’ Night (CORDIS), taking place simultaneously across Europe. This third edition of WiseNight is a collaboration between five consortium partners (VUB, ULB, BeWise, VKI, GoodPlanet) and four associated partners: Atomium, TADA, GC De Kriekelaar and Fablab’ke. The two previous editions (2021 and 2024–2025) were coordinated by Belgian Women in Science (BeWiSe). The name WiseNight reflects those roots: “Wise” refers to Women in Science and to BeWiSe’s mission to make science more inclusive, visible and accessible.

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
