societal impact
At the Brussels Center for Urban Studies (VUB), societal impact means turning research into action with city-makers, civil society, and residents. Our flagship StadsSalonsUrbains lecture series brings renowned international voices to Brussels to debate the city’s future, while we translate insights into policy briefs, peer-reviewed publications, and open datasets to guide evidence-based decision making.
