Sunday 26 November: visit Ghent University on Science Day

Can cancer be treated with sound? How dangerous is a USB stick found in the street? Can dogs suffer from epilepsy? Where does that fish on your plate come from? How did people party in the Middle Ages?. What is a collaborative economy? How is research conducted on Antarctica? Or would you rather test out some virtual reality? It is all possible at Science Day, the largest science event in Flanders and Brussels. Ghent will host the WoooW Science Festival in the MIAT. Plus, many different companies, observatories, hands-on centres, museums and laboratories will open their doors. There's something for everyone! On Science Day you can discover how scientific research and technological innovation have become part of our daily lives and how important they are to us in the future. Ghent University is involved with over fifty activities in and around Ghent, as well as in Kortrijk. The plans include fascinating demos, interactive workshops, guided tours and science cafés, entertaining lectures, walks, and exhibitions on almost all scientific domains.
