Launch of the fith CIVIS Open Lab at Université libre de Bruxelles Launch of the fith CIVIS Open Lab at Université libre de Bruxelles ==================================================================== General 18 December 2020 On **Friday 18th December 2020**, the **Brussels Research Open Lab** (BROL), CIVIS's fith open lab located in Belgium, will kick-off its adventure with the alliance. The event will take place virtually on the Zoom platform from **12:00 to 14:00** (CET). Within CIVIS, the Brussels Research Open Lab will be a place of **project thinking and co-creation** in which the civil society, the Université libre de Bruxelles, regional representatives, associations and businesses will seek together solutions to respond to challenges in the Brussels area. The kick-off meeting will be a place to introduce the state of play, role and missions of the BROL as well as to tackle some of the following questions in order to move forward: - what are the intentions behind this place? - who is already supporting this initiative? - what initiatives could be implemented with the BROL? - what regional challenges should we first look at? - what are resources are available? The online event is opened to all people interested to learn more on the BROL or to take part in this initiative.
