The Brussels Local Organising Team
We are a dedicated and motivated team of six researchers and science communication officers involved in space science and working at the Space Pole Site in Uccle, in the Southern part of Brussels.
We have some many wonderful women in science in Belgium. It’s time for the public to meet them and a Soapbox Science event is just the best format to make this happen. We hope that our speakers and their passion will be an inspiration for the future generations of scientists.

Dr. Karolien Lefever, astronomer and atmospheric scientist, responsible for communication & public outreach at the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy. Disposing of a strong scientific curiosity herself, she loves sharing her enthusiasm for science with young and old.
Lucie Lamort, communication officer at the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, is not as scary as her name suggests, has a passion for the universe, people, the big questions and the small ones (Instagram: @lucyinthequarks, LinkedIn: lucie-lamort)
Caroline Jonas (not pictured), researcher finishing her PhD thesis in theoretical cosmology at the Max Planck Institute in Potsdam. She will soon join the Institute of theoretical physics of the KUL, where she will continue trying to unravel the mysteries of the early universe. She strongly believes in the power of role models in science and also loves communicating her passion for sciences.
