Subject: Conference on the topic « Drones and research at the university: state of
play in Belgium » - 31 May 2017
Dear Colleagues:
For a few years, drones have invited themselves into research led by several
university teams.
We propose a one-day university meeting on the topic of « Drones and research
at the university: state of play in Belgium », on Wednesday 31 May in Louvain-la-
Neuve. This activity is equally aimed at researchers working in the development of
drones and at researches who use drones as a working instrument. Key players of the
industrial world will also be invited.
The aim is to identify research groups working in the field of drones in Belgian
universities, to encourage collaboration (research, financing requests, equipment
procurement,…), and to share information (know-how, contacts,…).
During this day you will have the opportunity, if you wish, to give a presentation
about your activities in the field (± 15 minutes).
If you are interested in participating in this activity, please contact Sébastien
Goessens (sébastien.goessens@uclouvain.be) and indicate the desired speaking time.
We will contact you again later with a consolidated programme.
Looking forward to meeting you there,
Sébastien Goessens et Pierre Latteur
