HELICON - Closing meeting

We are pleased to invite you to the final event of the HELICON project, which will take place on Monday, 15 December 2025, from 09:30 to 14:00, in Room Storck at the Eurostation building (Rue Ernest Blérot 1, Brussels).

Over the past four years, HELICON has aimed to unravel the long-term and indirect health impacts of the COVID-19 crisis in Belgium, with a particular focus on social inequalities. The project examined how the pandemic affected different population groups, both through the disease itself and through the wider consequences of the crisis, such as disruptions in health care and shifts in health care use. By bringing together researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders, HELICON has generated evidence to guide future health policies and improve pandemic preparedness.

The Congo Panorama. Colonial illusion exposed

This exhibition reflects on colonial propaganda. Original testimonies from past and present, together with surprising collections and photographs, unravel the Congo Panorama; an immense painting that flaunted at the 1913 World Fair in Ghent. It glorified Belgian realisations in Congo and depicted the young Belgian colony as an idyll - a fake news avant la lettre.
