KU Leuven 600 Years - Wetenschap is Overal (event)

by
KU Leuven

Year: 2025

Commissioned By: VRT and KU Leuven

In 2025, KU Leuven celebrated its 600th anniversary with a large event across the city of Leuven. Together with partners like VRT, they filled the city with science you could visit and take part in. I documented the day for KU Leuven and VRT.
