On 19 December 2023, we welcome you all at the Aula Q auditorium of the VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) for a unique evening where paleontology in general and dinosaurs in particular, are at the center of attention. This event, organised by Palaeontologica Belgica in collaboration with the VUB, aims to promote paleontological research and critical thinking as promoted by the P.A.C.T. initiative: The (Caroline) Pauwels Academy of Critical Thinking.
By inviting a range of international speakers from across the globe, we try to invite the audience into the world of paleontology, discuss the ecosystems and dynamics that ruled our planet many milion years ago, and at the same time, offer an introspective into today's ecological revolutions by understanding and questioning the things we see around us. Combined with our knowledge of the geological past, we hope to offer the audience an introspective view on life in this day and age.
Citizen science
Today more than ever we find ourselves within the midst of the second largest paleontological renaissance. Never before have extinct animals, dinosaurs especially become, part of our everyday lives as will be illustrated during the event by journalist Harald Scheerlinck.
