The business of sport is always evolving, confronting sports organisations with new challenges every day. To cope with these challenges, further development of the roles of sport managers is greatly needed. To meet this need, LUNEX is actively working on ongoing research projects in the field of sport, which includes a significant European project: Sport Good Governance Game (SG3). Supported by the UNESCO Chair, the Good Governance and Law in Sport Conference helps different sports organisations and governmental agencies, by providing clarity on sports governance and the legal environment in both Luxembourg and Europe.

Tussen Land en Zee. Leven aan de kust vroeger, nu en morgen

29/05/2026
– 15/11/2026
Wilskerke (Middelkerke) – Sint-Gulielmuskerk – van 29/05 tot 30/08/2026 & Raversyde (Oostende) – Provinciedomein Atlantikwall Raversyde – van 05/09 tot 15/11/2026
Reizende expo De Belgische kust is het resultaat van duizenden jaren landschapsverandering. Wat vandaag een vaste kustlijn lijkt, was ooit een mozaïek van eilanden, geulen, slikken, schorren en veenmoerassen. Zee en land verlegden hier voortdurend hun grenzen, onder invloed van getijden, stormen, zeespiegelstijging én menselijk ingrijpen. De tentoonstelling “Tussen Land en Zee” verkent hoe dat dynamische kustlandschap 12.000 jaar geleden ontstond en telkens opnieuw werd hertekend. Het TESTEREP-project vormt daarbij het vertrekpunt. Via het verdwenen eiland Testerep – dat zich tot in de middeleeuwen uitstrekte tussen Westende en Oostende – maken we veranderingen in het kustlandschap zichtbaar.
