Science for everyone!

Our website Wtnschp.be gets straight to the point: the most important and enjoyable part of science! The website is an initiative of the Expertise Centre for Scientific Communication Brussels. Together with the Erasmus University College Brussels the VUB forms the University Association Brussels. Through it we share science with the general public. Our team fulfils the government's science communication mission with numerous events, blogs, social media posts, and educational projects.

The individual slides can be downloaded from the DIY house style platform (for staff only).
