About the research
99% of people in prison are released at some point. So it is crucial to prepare them for this release. Music can help with this, education scientist Silke Marynissen (VUB - FWO) explains in this video. "If people in prison can make songs and share them with the outside world, they feel connected again." Or how music can help build a bridge between prison and society.

How citizens can shape urban planning
"Leave it to the experts. You don't understand the technical stuff." A thought city planners sometimes have. But urban designer and researcher Jan Lim (KU Leuven) argues for something different: meaningful citizen involvement. "City planning isn't just technical. It's also political... These choices shape the kind of city we live in. So citizens need to talk about them."

Transforming landscapes: the water-saving terraces of ancient cyprus
How did people in dry regions like Cyprus survive long periods without rain? Thousands of years ago, they built stone terraces to slow down water, allowing it to soak into the soil and nourish crops. At VUB, archaeologist Ella Egberts is combining archaeological fieldwork with scientific analysis to uncover how these systems worked — and what they can teach us about drought resilience today.

Lake Victoria: How to predict future floods?
Flooding around Lake Victoria has become increasingly deadly — with hundreds of lives lost and millions affected in recent years. But better forecasting could make all the difference.
Vincent Ogembo (VUB) is developing a Integrated Water Balance Model, that brings together satellite data and lake outflow measurements to predict future flood scenarios up to 2100. This research will help governments anticipate rising water levels and issue early flood warnings before disaster strikes.
