A pint before the Pint? Don't miss the Belgian launch event of the largest science festival in the world!
This May, the Pint of Science festival comes to Belgium for the first time to bring you the best of Belgian science, delivered directly to your local bar. To celebrate and to give you a taste of the cerebral joys to come, we brought together top scientists from all over the country for a special launch event on 17 April at ViaVia Café in Brussels.
113 participants made it to celebrate Belgian science. What a good start!!
​
Host
Veteran of Pint of Science UK, Lieven Scheire is the perfect candidate to help kick off the Belgian chapter of the festival with the right dose of humour, nerdiness and science!
