The participating students were actively involved in the experiments and demonstrations.
"With the science show, VUB B-PHOT wants to challenge young people who are about to make an important choice for their future, to sharpen their curiousity and critical view of the world and to be open to the versatility of technology-oriented studies. Photonics is a good example of this, "Prof. dr. Dr.Ir. Hugo Thienpont Vice Rector Innovation & Valorisation and Director of the photonics research group B-PHOT.
