VIB proudly supports Soapbox Science Brussels, a public outreach platform dedicated to promoting women and non-binary scientists and their groundbreaking work. Soapbox Science events transform public spaces into arenas for learning, debate, and inspiration, drawing inspiration from London Hyde Park's Speaker's Corner, a historic hub for public discourse. By eliminating intermediaries, PowerPoint slides, and traditional amphitheaters, Soapbox Science provides an intimate and engaging experience, connecting you directly with extraordinary women and non-binary scientists who are eager to amaze you with their latest discoveries.

On Saturday, 24th June 2023, twelve scientists gathered in Brussels to share their research with the public. Among them was Annelies Emmaneel from the Saeys lab, who talked about her research on advancements of AI in the clinic. She focused on the potential of computational methods that use blood information to revolutionize the diagnosis of patients with primary immunodeficiencies.
