ISG Monthly Lecture: Dementia is Not a Normal Process of Ageing Speaker: Professor Sebastiaan Engelborghs (09 Nov 2026)

Mon, 09 Nov 2026 09:30:00 GMT

Partner Event of Interest - International Study Group Monthly Lecture

Dementia is Not a Normal Process of Ageing

Speaker: Professor Sebastiaan Engelborghs

Dementia is not a normal process of ageing. One in five people will receive the diagnosis of Dementia at some point in their lives. By 2070, this figure is expected to double again as we continue to live longer. This is frightening, because the disease seems irreversible. But VUB professor of neurology Sebastiaan Engelborghs and journalist Barbara Ceuleers offer hope. Together, they wrote the book Vergeet dementie (Forget Dementia). “Almost half of future cases can be delayed or even prevented.”

Professor Sebastiaan Engelborghs is a professor of neurology and neurosciences at VUB, co-director of the VUB Center for Neurosciences (C4N) and chairman of the department of neurology at VUB.

Pat Moore Comedy Show: The American Apology (12 Nov 2026)

Thu, 12 Nov 2026 18:30:00 GMT

Pat Moore Comedy Show: The American Apology

New country. New culture. New dog. Same confused American.

Sold out across five countries — Luxembourg, Germany, Denmark, Austria and Switzerland — Pat Moore is bringing The American Apology to Brussels for one night only!

Thursday, 12 November 2026 | Doors open at 19:30 | Show starts at 20:00

From a small town in America to a Berlin apartment with a German wife and a very needy dog, Pat Moore delivers a personal, punchy comedy show about getting lost — literally and emotionally — in a new country.

Cross-cultural relationships, bureaucracy, the textile-free wellness centre and dog-related trauma all feature in this funny and occasionally humiliating account of an American trying to adapt to life in Germany. No German, no volume control, no national pride.

It’s a show for anyone who has ever moved abroad, dated across cultures, or wanted a personal apology from an American.

Not sure what to expect? Watch two minutes of jokes (not from the show) here.

And if you need convincing, here’s what audiences have said:

“I was cracking up the entire time. If this tour is your way of apologizing, apology fully accepted.”
— Maria, Frankfurt

“Two full hours of nonstop laughter and amazing vibes.”
— Yepakh, Dresden

“Highly recommend to US expats, Germans, or honestly anyone who has ever tried to navigate cultural differences without losing their mind.”
— Lukas, Berlin

“The price was surprisingly low. I would have paid more.”
— Andreia, Luxembourg

With sold-out shows in Cologne, Frankfurt, Dresden, Nuremberg and Heidelberg, Brussels is next!

To keep things fair and fun, we'll cover the labels up-front and ask you to rate each as we go and then and only then will we unveil each wine, after you've tasted and scored it. Who do you think will win this year? Champagne or Rest of World?

An early-bird wine will reward those who arrive early and help us start on time. ;-)

As usual, the wine will be paired with plenty of good food.

Friday, December 18, 2026

"Join us for an unforgettable festive evening

in the heart of Brussels!"

This year, our annual ACB Holiday Reception takes place in one of the Grand Place's most legendary settings — the historic Roy d'Espagne. We'll be hosted in their enchanting Christmas Fairies exposition area, a truly magical backdrop for a festive night to remember.

Les Plaisirs d'Hiver is one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in the world, but this year ‘Le Roy d'Espagne’ is going beyond expectations by transforming its hidden spaces into a veritable kingdom of Father Christmas. Visitors, young and old, will have the chance to enjoy a unique experience as they explore the restaurant's secret nooks and crannies, discovering enchanting surprises at every turn.

The beautifully decorated rooms take us on an enchanted, gradual journey to Santa's Land, symbolyzing a deeper and deeper immersion in the magic of Christmas.

Each stage of the visit represents a part of this journey, with specific settings and atmospheres that reinforce the impression of stepping out of the ordinary world and into a fairy tale universe.

Accessible only through a hidden entrance at 45 Rue au Beurre and with no elevator access, this enchanting winter world immerses visitors into a frozen kingdom in the heart of Brussels Winter Wonders and the famous Christmas Market.

Monumental icy décor, sparkling lights, enchanted winter forests, Christmas music and breathtaking panoramic views over Brussels’ famous Grand Place sound & light show create a truly unforgettable Christmas experience.

As the evening unfolds, enjoy a delicious selection of drinks and finger foods while soaking in the spectacular view of the Grand Place Christmas tree — and if the timing is right, the famous sound and light show in all its glory.

But it's more than just a beautiful setting. This is your chance to raise a glass with familiar faces, meet new members, and make the kind of connections that only happen in a warm, lively holiday atmosphere. Whether you're a long-standing member or joining us for the first time, there's a seat at the table for you.

And don't forget your business card — we'll be running a tombola at the end of the evening, with great prizes from our generous sponsors up for grabs! We look forward to celebrating the season with you.
