In 2024, seven European street artists worked with local communities to transform facades across Belgium into powerful works of art.

Une simple prise de sang au doigt permettrait, à l'avenir, de détecter la maladie d'Alzheimer avant la manifestation des premiers symptômes. C'est ce que montrent les recherches du projet PREDICTOM, auquel contribuent l'UZ Bruxelles et la VUB.
