Call for ideas to change Brussels Addictlab project to create a blue print for Brussels 2.0 | |
Imagine a city - Reason whyCall for multidisciplinary research for the www.Brusselslab.com project. They say the sky hangs low over Brussels, the bureaucracy weighs heavy and the day-to-day’s a grind. But there’s something else, something you’re part of and shaping every day. This city, which brings together people from around the world, is also one huge vibrant mass of talent and potential. We say the time has come to unleash it all upon Brussels streets, let it spill into parks and bounce off rooftops. In partnership with TEDx Brussels, we challenge you to challenge the capital of Europe, set it on fire with big ideas and even bigger actions, and see it rise like a phoenix from the ashes. It’s easy: connect with your environment and tell us what change YOU want to see. You can share your master plan in a few words, a simple drawing, or photographs.

Since their launch in 1984, the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conferences have developed into a massive global community of knowledge seekers. Several times a year the world’s brightest minds – from Al Gore to Jane Goodall – assemble and are challenged to defend their viewpoints in an an 18-minute speech. All talks can be viewed for free on the website. Anything goes in terms of topics, from the mathematics of war to growing fresh air. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a programme called TEDx. The local, self-organised events bring people together to share
