< back The Energy trilemma Energy should be reliable, sustainable and affordable. How do you reconcile these objectives ? More detailed information Will the lights stay on if we shut down the nuclear power plants? What are the ecological and financial consequences of the nuclear exit? Are subsidies necessary to trigger investments in replacement capacity? Is a sharp increase in electricity imports the simplest solution? Or should we manage the demand side more intelligently? And what opportunities do electric vehicles offer? There is no single, unique energy future. Yet we want an energy system that is reliable, sustainable and affordable at the same time. Can we reconcile the three objectives of the energy trilemma? In this keynote, we explore the Belgian electricity landscape of 2030 from the perspective of the trilemma. We answer the questions above and point out the main trade-offs or 'trade-offs' according to the energy trilemma. This analysis shows how an ambitious policy can make use of technological evolutions to realise the energy trilemma.

< back Tap into your resilience with Spanish Flamenco Exciting Spanish music style as powerful elixir of life More detailed information Captivated by the glowing energy of Spanish flamenco, Luna resolutely turns her past of grief and loss into a path of life in which joy and passion are central. For Luna, the meaning of life is the meaning in life, and flamenco song and dance prove to be pre-eminently suitable to experience this joy in an intense way. An (inter)active inspiration session by Luna goes off the beaten track and aims to make participants feel what they may already know but have not felt for a long time. Who are you as an individual? Where do you want to go and why? What gets your blood flowing? In her lectures and workshops, Luna challenges to reflect on what inspires each person, from an invitation to get moving and (re)take control of their own life. Luna's lectures, workshops and inspiration sessions can also be booked with live accompaniment by a flamenco guitarist, which makes her penetrating message even more tangible. The impact of Luna's singing and performance, together with the live guitar playing, add a powerful deeper layer to the experience of spectators/participants. Request a quote Submit About Luna Zegers is the only non-Spaniard in the world with a cum laude conservatory degree in flamenco singing under her belt: a unique achievement. She also graduated summa cum laude in jazz singing from the Conservatory of Amsterdam. At a young age, she lost both her parents and only sister. After tough years, marked by grief and a search for meaning, she develops a strong will to survive and a zest for life. She becomes the first musician to major in both jazz singing and flamenco singing, studies with only Spaniards at the prestigious ESMUC conservatory in Barcelona, and writes all the music and lyrics for her graduation performance. She is also writing the book "SOLO," about her grieving processes and her experiences as an outsider in the exciting world of Spanish flamenco. The power of Luna's oeuvre shows itself in the various creative forms in which she transforms her troubles: moving music, fascinating stories and a meaningful book, with which she expresses her grief and the processing thereof. Luna Zegers Singer-composer, author and energetic speaker on loss, resilience, zest for life and inspiration

SOME QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT SPEAKERSBASE What is Speakersbase? As you can read in the About section, Speakersbase was originally created in 2016 as an open platform to bring speakers and organisers together. There was no commercial objective and we offered our main activities (maintaining your speakers profile) as a free, no-commitment service to the public. In 2020 we decided to change this model drastically. Our ambition is to offer and commercially represent #virtualspeakers and hosts . These are people that we officially represent as a commercial booking agency. Why am I not on the list of current speakers? The current speakers are handpicked #virtualspeakers and hosts that we commercially represent as a booking agency for virtual events. If you are not on the list, it means that we do not have a deal to sell your services to our clients. As you will see, only a small group of people is represented so far. This list will grow in the near future with new speakers, yet we will always limit this to the amount of #virtualspeakers that we believe we can represent in a qualitative way. Can I become an active speaker or host? You can indeed apply to become one of our #virtualspeakers so that we can commercially represent you. Please bear in mind that this might take time: it is a manual process of selecting the best speakers we believe cover topics we want to offer to our clients. I have issues signing in to my old page, what's wrong? We are aware that the migration to the new domain caused some problems for a small group of users. Most of these issues should be fixed by now. If you still encounter problems, please let us know.​ Where are all the old speakers and their pages? Because of our new business model, the website now only shows the speakers that we offer to the market. This means that your speakerspage is no longer available through the main website. For now, the pages are still available on https://speakersbase.info although the plan is to eventually switch them off during summer. This should give you time to grab possible assets from your page and store them elsewhere. I want to keep on using my speakerspage, is that possible? For the time being your old speakerspage is still available on Speakersbase.info but we plan to eventually turn the pages off, as this is no longer our core business and these functionalities will no longer be supported. ​ Is there a chance that my old speakerspage will remain available anyway? We got many positive reactions from speakers that want to keep using their profile pages, even if we don't represent them as #virtualspeakers in the new Speakersbase. They expressed the willingness to pay a small fee for that. We are currently investigating if that is an option. The more interest we feel, the bigger the chance that we will offer a solution for this.​

More detailed information Already back in 1856, the impact of CO2 on our environment was published in a scientific paper. What progress have we made since then? What are we aiming for now? What comes next once climate neutrality is reached? In 1856, Eunice Newton Foote described the impact of CO2 on our environment in a scientific paper that should have changed the way we approach climate change. Although Eunice Newton Foote was a pioneer in climate science and one of the early women in science, her paper did not lead to significant changes at that time. Fast forward to today, we find ourselves at a critical juncture in the fight against climate change. In February 2024, scientific research recorded the first-time breach of the iconic 1.5°C temperature rise. How can we reach our goal by 2050? What comes next once climate neutrality is achieved?
