The Discovery Lunches are an opportunity to enjoy a sandwich during a free, accessible and popularised scientific lecture. All in the unique setting of the peristyle, our open-air (covered) conference area, with a breathtaking view over the Parc du Cinquantenaire.

There's no need to register for the Discovery lunches, which take place from 12:00 to 13:00.

Bring your own lunch or order and pay for one of the delicious dishes from the Tipi Cinquantenaire guinguette.

The space is covered. Conferences will only be moved in the event of the park being closed. This information will be communicated via our social networks and in the calendar on this website.

Speaker: Petra Vanlommel, Royal Observatory of Belgium

Topic: Help! There’s a storm in space!?

This conference is in Dutch.

Context:
We all use satellites on a daily basis. Your smartphone is packed with applications with satellite technology, and GPS gets you from A to B. A solar storm could sow chaos for satellites, which is why a solar watchdog exists to monitor space weather. Do drop by if you want to know more about space weather and its effects on us.
