Outreach

We talk, write and speak about our fascinating research - not only at conferences and in class rooms. From media coverage to TED talks and our very own MOOC, we've compiled a selection of our outreach activities by theme:

Ever wondered why your beer tastes the way it does?

Follow our FREE online MOOC to learn how the ingredients, different biochemical reactions and process parameters in beer brewing influence the taste and aroma of beer.

Tasted & tested

Kevin Verstrepen and Miguel Roncoroni tested and tasted 250 Belgian beers in the lab. This unique dataset resulted in the first fact-based atlas of Belgian beers, a roadmap that shows how every beer compares to others, allowing readers to understand and explore the marvellous world of Belgian beer and encouraging them to discover new beers based on similarities to their personal favourites.

Part of the proceeds go to 'Wetenschap op Stap', a VIB science education initiative for children.
