Bram De Rock’s workshop – 15 years !

December 12 2023

Celebrating 15 Years of Academic Excellence!

What began as a modest gathering 15 years ago, with just six individuals in Bram De Rock‘s living room, has blossomed into an enriching tradition. On November 15, we marked this milestone with a vibrant gathering of 40 researchers, all affiliated with Belgian universities, sharing a keen interest in unraveling the complexities of household decisions.

The evolution of our workshop reflects a dynamic journey of knowledge exchange and collaboration. As we look back on this incredible day of interactions, we’re excited to announce that the yearly international counterpart is set to unfold in May 2024.

Here’s to 15 years of growth, and we eagerly anticipate many more years of fostering insightful discussions and forging lasting connections!
