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.

Siggraph 2023

– 10/08/2023

Los Angeles Convention Center, LA, USA

Like the Atomic Age of yesterday, the Information Age of today, and the Imagination Age of tomorrow, SIGGRAPH represents a near-perfect timeline of discovery and advancement in the computer graphics world. For 50 years, the conference has ushered in new breakthroughs, bolstered a community of perpetual dreamers, and mapped a future where exponential innovation isn’t just possible — it’s inevitable. With that in mind, SIGGRAPH is more than a passive highlight of yesteryear. It’s a system that transcends time, where energy and inspiration continuously coalesce to drive infinite advancement. Celebrating 50 years of our conference presents the opportunity to recognize 2023 as the Age of SIGGRAPH, a living era in the conference legacy that honors the full chronology of the industry, the community, and the organization — then, now, and far into the future.

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.
