Night of Knowledge on Brussels: MIX(C)ITY

Is Brussels a complex city? Definitely. Diversity in all its dimensions is a key feature of the city. However, this complexity and this diversity should not prevent us from having an adequate understanding of Brussels. This year, the fifth Night of Knowledge on Brussels, organised by the Brussels Studies Institute, the Brussels Studies journal and the Brussels Academy, addresses the theme of « MIX(C)ITY » in order to understand the city region in its many aspects. About 20 researchers and actors of the Brussels society (mobilized with the help of the centre of expertise on gender and diversity RHEA) will share their knowledge, by offering incisive presentations of 14 minutes each. This accessible and relevant knowledge on Brussels and its diversity will be punctuated by a documentary, two debates and some great music. Intended for a very mixed Brussels audience.
