Met stip dé column van de week van Isolde Van den Eynde. Honderdduizenden mensen zijn letterlijk op de vlucht voor oorlog in Iran en Libanon. En wat doet de Belg, klagen en zagen dat hij 600€ moet betalen voor zijn repatriëring, want ja hij betaalt al genoeg belastingen. Het liefst van al zou hij “nog een slag willen slaan” door gratis gerepatrieerd te worden en toch nog een vergoeding te krijgen van de luchtvaartmaatschappij of verzekering. Een van de vaste conclusies in mijn Keynotes is dat wij zelf (mee) verantwoordelijk zijn voor “de staat van de Staat”. Dat zorgt meestal voor redelijk wat animo in de zaal. Maar wat Isolde schrijft is het zoveelste voorbeeld hiervan. Van remgeld bij de dokter, het collegegeld voor studenten, frigobons en alles daartussen, we nemen alles “for granted”, maar dat is niet for granted. Het is op en het moet anders. Wie dit niet beseft - en zo zijn er velen - speelt met de toekomst van ons welvaartsmodel. PS: in de meeste landen moeten burgers trouwens (mee)betalen voor hun repatriëring

Ci vediamo ad Amsterdam....il Direttore @ESA_EO @SimonettaCheli , insieme al Direttore della Tecnologia dell'ESA Dietmar Pilz parteciperanno all'evento Amsterdam Space Symposium del 3 e 4 marzo. @esa #amsterdamspacesymposium #spaceforclimate

We have entered the age of clean energy. Almost everywhere around the world, renewables are now the cheapest, fastest & safest source of new electricity. Together, let’s cut emissions, strengthen energy security, power development & build lasting stability.

Sophie launched 🚀 on 13 February and is now chasing the International Space Station on board Dragon spacecraft “Freedom”, with her Crew-12 crewmates. Before she lifted-off, she asked us to share this video on her behalf… Signed: Team Sophie #εpsilon @esa • @esaspaceflight

Another bold step for Europe in space 🚀   The successful Ariane 64 launch marks a major milestone for Europe’s autonomous and resilient access to space.   And this is only the beginning, as more 🇪🇺 EU Space Programme missions are planned onboard Ariane 6.   #Ariane6 #EUSpace

Seven women. Seven careers. Seven pieces of advice. For #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience we’re celebrating the voices and wisdom of women shaping science and technology across Europe. #IDWGS #WomenInSTEM 🔗esa.int/About_Us/Diver… @Soph_astro @CERN @ESO @embl @EuropeanXFEL @EIROforum

🚀 #Crew12 launch postponed, but while we wait for the weather to cooperate for @Soph_astro’s launch, let your eyes wander to the best seat in orbit: the Cupola aboard the @Space_Station. Designed and built by @ESA, 2026 marks 16 years of the Cupola offering a breathtaking 360° backdrop for some of the most iconic imagery of Earth and space ever captured in orbit. 💬 Sophie: safe to say this view will make the extra wait worthwhile 👀#εpsilon

Watching ESA astronaut @AstroSamantha during the opening ceremony was deeply moving. In a segment devoted to science, exploration, curiosity, and discovery, it felt like a reminder of the very best of humanity. A truly touching way to open the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. esa.int/Space_in_Membe… #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics

Biomass data are now available to the public✅ @esa's forest mission is the first satellite to carry a P-band synthetic aperture radar. Why is it so cool? It can penetrate dense forest canopies to measure woody biomass, including trunks and large branches, where the majority of forest carbon is held. This will help scientists provide a robust proxy for carbon storage: esa.int/Applications/O…
