SUMMARY:The Contribution of Physics to Energy Production\, Storage & Distribution
DESCRIPTION:This conference explores how advances in physics are shaping the future of energy systems. Organized by the European Physical Society (EPS)\, it brings together experts from academia\, industry\, and public policy to examine the scientific\, technological\, and societal dimensions of the energy transition. \nThrough keynote lectures and moderated panel discussions\, participants will address recent scientific breakthroughs\, pathways for technological deployment\, and the policy frameworks required to enable a secure\, efficient\, and sustainable energy system. \nThe programme covers a broad range of topics\, including wind and solar energy\, energy storage\, critical raw materials\, nuclear energy\, and other emerging technologies relevant to energy production and distribution. \nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1611722/

SUMMARY:Physics alumni evening 2026 @ UAntwerpen
DESCRIPTION:On the 23rd of April\, the Antwerp Young Minds will be organising another alumni evening on campus Groenenborger. We will stick to the same concept where we invite a few alumni to give a presentation on their careers after university\, followed by a Q&A round. We will conclude the evening with a reception so that you can network some more or catch up with each other. Feel free to forward this invitation to other alumni. Details can be found below. \nInvited speakers:\n– Wim Tirry: technology leader @ Atlas Copco\n– Maja Verstraeten: plasma physics researcher @ Royal Military Academy\n– Roeland Juchtmans: civil servant department WEWIS @ Flemish government\n– Nancy Vermeulen: strategic advisor & program leader \nIf you wish to participate\, please register through this form. \nDetails\nThursday 23/04\nCampus Groenenborger\, G.T.105\n(Groenenborgerlaan 171\, 2020 Antwerpen)\nPlanning\n– 18:30 — Welcome drink\n– 19:00 — Presentations\n– 20:30 — Reception \nHope to see you there! \nWith kind regards\,\nThe Antwerp Young Minds \nContact: youngminds@uantwerpen.be

SUMMARY:Wetenschapscafé Kempen: De oerknal en Georges Lemaître
DESCRIPTION:Na het overdonderende succes van het eerste seizoen\, maakt Wetenschapscafé Kempen zich op voor negen nieuwe lezingen. Elke lezing gaat door in Tabloo\, Dessel. Deelnemen is gratis\, maar we vragen je wel om op voorhand in te schrijven. Zo weten we hoeveel stoelen we mogen klaarzetten! \n\n\n\nDe oerknal en Georges Lemaître\n\n\ndoor Jef Ongena \nHoe ontstond het heelal? De oerknal biedt een verklaring gebaseerd op de relativiteitstheorie. Tijdens deze voordracht wordt het leven en werk van de Leuvense hoogleraar en priester Georges Lemaître belicht\, de man die algemeen beschouwd wordt als de grondlegger van de oerknal. Daarnaast geeft de spreker ook een overzicht van de  recente (en fascinerende) ontdekkingen in het heelal die de theorie van de oerknal  bevestigen. \n23 april 2026 om 19.30 uur \n\n\n\nReserveer je ticket

SUMMARY:Belgian Fusion Day
DESCRIPTION:Curious how fusion can power tomorrow? \nDiscover Belgium’s role in the path to fusion energy! \nOpen to students\, educators\, researchers and innovators \nThe Belgian Fusion Day is a joint event organised by the fusion research laboratories at the Royal Military Academy\, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN\, Universiteit Gent\, KU Leuven\, Université libre de Bruxelles and Université Catholique de Louvain. It aims to showcase to a broad audience the current state of Fusion Energy development and the involvement of Belgium in the pursuit of this abundant and carbon-free energy source of the future. \nIn this 4th edition of the event\, we focus in particular on the landscape of private fusion companies\, and the role Belgium’s high-tech industry can play in the development of future fusion power plants. The program includes: \n\nInvited speakers from ITER – the world’s largest fusion experiment – and private fusion companies\nOverview of expertise of the Belgian fusion labs\nViews on how Belgium’s high-tech industry can contribute to the development of fusion power plants\nNetworking lunch and reception\n\nWe make the link with fusion-relevant technologies\, including: \n\nAdvanced cooling solutions\nAdvanced computing and digital twins\nGenerative design\nData science\, machine learning\, AI\nAntenna design\nAdditive manufacturing\nThermomechanical analysis and structural integrity assessment\nPlasma Diagnostics & Control\nHeat- & neutron-resistant materials\nVacuum technology and cryogenics\nRemote handling

SUMMARY:Departmental colloquium on weather and climate modeling by  Prof. Steven Caluwaerts (UGent/KMI)
DESCRIPTION:Professor Steven Caluwaerts will give a talk on weather and climate modeling. \nThe miracle of atmospheric modelling: past\, present and future\n \nSince the mid‑20th century\, numerical weather forecasts have been produced\, and today we take their remarkable accuracy for granted. More recently\, climate projections have entered the public sphere\, playing a crucial role in guiding adaptation and mitigation policies. But what science underpins these atmospheric models\, and why do they work so well?\n\nIn this talk\, Prof. Steven Caluwaerts (Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium – Ghent University) will explore the past\, present\, and future of weather and climate modelling. He will also highlight several ongoing research projects at Belgian research institutions that are advancing our understanding of the atmosphere and its role in a changing climate.\nHybrid meeting can be arranged if enough external interest (let us know on our mail below). \nDetails\nThursday 13/05\nCampus Groenenborger\, G.US.024\n(Groenenborgerlaan 171\, 2020 Antwerpen)\nPlanning:\n– 16:15h start of talk\n– 17h reception \nHope to see you there! \nWith kind regards\,\nThe Antwerp Young Minds \nContact: youngminds@uantwerpen.be
