On the 29th and 30th of August, we will organize the CAPTURE days of 2024. During these days, we want to strengthen ties and connections among CAPTURE researchers and the entire CAPTURE community, communicate scientific findings, discuss fundamental & applied next steps to prepare for future project proposals and have reflection discussions on circularity.
On top of that the second day will be organized as a 'Bridges for a sustainable society'. This event is jointly organized by CAPTURE, Itinera, ie-net, SDR Flanders, Bond Beter Leefmilieu, City of Ghent, and Province of East Flanders. Note: all speakers are allowed to speak in their language of choice. So some presentations will be held in Dutch.
The whole event will take place at the St. Peter's Abbey in Ghent. A first impression on the program below. For the plenary sessions on CO2, water and plastics and the tech pitches we are looking for interested researchers and companies to present. Reach out to your pipeline manager if you are interested. Of course there will also be enough time to strengthen ties within the whole CAPTURE community and beyond.
How to participate to the prize competition? Send your argumentation (NL or EN) of maximum 1000 words or a video recording before June 30 12h00 to bruggen@itinera.team. A jury of policy experts, researchers and entrepreneurs will select the best broadcasts. The selected speaker will receive a presentation slot on 30 August, and a prize: Itinera Institute vzw will offer the winner a visiting fellowship for three months (worth more than 2000 €🪙) to develop those ideas into concrete policy recommendations for the people in the driving seat in this country. And of course you also get a lot of respect 😊
