Au Pairs in Belgium - Rights Awareness & Lived Experiences

Research for my Thesis Hi everyone 👋 I'm a journalism student in Belgium working on my graduation project, a long-form article about the rights of au pairs in Brussels, and the gap between what the law promises and what many au pairs actually experience. I'm looking to speak with au pairs based in Belgium (or who have been here), whether your experience was difficult, mostly fine, or somewhere in between. Every perspective matters, and I'm especially interested in whether you knew your rights when you arrived and how that affected your situation. Everything can be fully anonymous. I'm not looking for drama, I genuinely want to tell these stories carefully and with respect. If you'd be open to a chat (even just 20 minutes over WhatsApp or video call), please send me a DM or comment below. I'm also happy to answer any questions about the project first. Thank you 🙏

International Students Belgium - Non-Binary IDs Not Recognised

Oproep: Voor een lopend journalistiek onderzoek ben ik, samen met twee andere onderzoeksjournalisten, op zoek naar internationale studenten die in België wonen of hebben gewoond en die in hun land van herkomst officieel een non-binaire genderregistratie hebben gekregen. We onderzoeken situaties waarbij die registratie in België administratief niet erkend kan worden. Er zijn aanwijzingen dat dit bijvoorbeeld voorkomt bij studenten uit Duitsland, waar een non-binaire registratie wél mogelijk is. Ben jij zelf hiermee geconfronteerd, of ken je iemand die hier ervaring mee heeft? Dan komen we graag vertrouwelijk in contact. Alle gesprekken gebeuren uiteraard discreet en zonder verplichtingen. Stuur gerust een privébericht of mail naar [email redacted] Delen wordt enorm gewaardeerd. Alvast bedankt! * English version: For an ongoing investigative journalism project, we (three investigative journalists) are looking to speak with international students who currently live or have lived in Belgium and who have obtained an official non-binary gender registration in their country of origin. We are investigating situations in which these registrations cannot be administratively recognised in Belgium. There are indications that this affects, for example, students from Germany, where non-binary registration is legally possible. Have you personally experienced this issue, or do you know someone who has? We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak confidentially. Any conversations will of course be handled discreetly and without obligation. Feel free to send me a private message or contact me at [email redacted] Sharing this post would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Former Staff & Patients Hof Ten Bos Sanatorium Brasschaat - Memories

Hof Ten Bos Sanatorium Hello everyone, I am a PhD researcher in architecture currently working on an article about the Hof ten Bos sanatorium in Brasschaat. This sanatorium was dedicated to the treatment of children suffering from tuberculosis and was part of early 20th-century public health strategies, where architecture played a central role in care (air, light, isolation, etc.). As part of this research, I have already consulted the archives in Brasschaat, but I am now looking for additional information—especially lesser-known sources, details, anecdotes, or personal testimonies. Does anyone here have documents, photographs, memories, or any other information related to this sanatorium? any leads or suggestions would be extremely valuable for my work. Thank you very much in advance 🙂

Case Studies on AI Model Manipulation for FIMI Conference Brussels

I'll be popping over to Brussels next week to talk at the big 2026 European External Action Service conference on foreign information manipulation from Monday to Wednesday. I know the event can be quite helter skelter, but if you're around, ping me! Let's grab a coffee or (Belgian) beer. I'm going to be talking about the future of FIMI in the AI age - and one of my big focuses this year is on the manipulation *of* AI models in covert and scaled ways in order to have influence. We have really focussed too much on deepfakes so far, but my sense is that the race to influence and mould prompt responses at scale is the real gold rush of influence, and that the scramble to win it is really is going to be one of the defining characteristics of FIMI from hereon in. I am very keen to hear from anyone that might point me towards case studies. It doesn't have to be geopolitics - it might be in the area of market manipulation, or brands and reputations. And it doesn't have to be proven or certain; I'm as keen to investigate examples which are emergent, unproven, and ambiguous. Thank you!

VC Firm Insights on EU Scaleup Europe Fund Selection - Sifted

I’d love to hear from you: did you apply to run the Scaleup Europe Fund? What do you make of the concerns? Who do you think will be chosen to manage the pot of money? [url=mailto:[email redacted]]Send me a note.[/url] As I hear from many of you, the EU’s new Scaleup Europe Fund is among the buzziest topics in the VC ecosystem right now. At €5bn, the fund will be the region’s largest ever funding vehicle — and a major prize for whichever firm wins the rights to run it. And it’s prompted intensifying speculation around the selection process. The fund, set to launch this spring, will back deeptech companies across the region. Applications to oversee the multi-billion euro pot closed last month, and we’re reporting that firms that have advanced to the next stage of the process will be invited to present in Brussels next week. Among those we know or are likely to have applied, based on qualifications: Lakestar, Eurazeo, Northzone, Atomico and Vitruvian Partners. But recently, much of the speculation around who will oversee the fund’s investments has centred around one investor in particular: Swedish investment firm EQT, seen by some as a potential frontrunner. We’re reporting that concerns have been raised to the Commission about a new part-time external adviser at EQT, who joined the firm the same month he left the Commission, where he advised on the creation of the Scaleup Europe Fund.

Sociotechnical & Safety-by-Design AI Experts for Lloyd's Register Foresight

Is the safe adoption of AI possible? If you've been following the AI news over the last week, it's pretty clear that voluntary guardrails, self-regulation and international regulatory alignment can't be relied up on to produce safer outcomes, so what are the alternatives? For the Lloyd's Register Foundation Foresight Review on the safe adoption of AI, we're investigating alternative routes to safe adoption, including sociotechnical methods of assurance and safety-by-design approaches to AI development. As these are both emergent areas, I'm really keen to speak with people working in both of these areas, particularly if your work is early stage and not easily discoverable. If that's you, please do get in touch! Would love to have a greater sense of works in progress and the kinds of challenges you're facing getting this work off the ground. And - while I'm here - I'll (unusually for me) be in Brussels for couple of days in mid-March and very keen to get some conversations in the diary.

European Testimonies on Post-Brexit Disappointment & UK Impact

Call for testimonies: Europeans disappointed with the UK after Brexit Dear network, I'm working on a story about Europeans disappointed by the UK... I’m looking for testimonies from people who left the country after Brexit, those who gave up moving here because of Brexit-related complications, those who decided to stay, or those who still chose to come but eventually felt disappointed. I’m interested in hearing from Europeans in general — Belgians would be great. I’m also looking for insights on whether businesses are still being affected by Brexit, and whether the Labour “reset” is changing anything. If you're interested, feel free to contact me via DM. Ta!

Bar Owners & Alcohol Abstainers Sought for Belgian Drinking Culture Documentary

Looking for bar owners and other interviewees for journalistic documentary Hello Belgian redditors. To cut it short, I am looking for people willing to speak on camera for a documentary me and my classmate are making as a university graduation project. The focus of the documentary is the decrease of drinking and the impact of this on Belgian culture. We are looking for: -Bar owner (preferably small town) who had to close down his venue or is on the verge of doing so -Someone with a personal tragedy related to alcohol consumption (e.g someone who has lost a relative or close friend due to alcoholism, someone who has lost their career etc.) -People who consistently abstain from drinking alcohol or never drank it for non-religious reasons If you fit any of the categories and want to share your story or know someone who would like to, please DM me. The documentary will be primarily filmed in English so it’s great if you speak it, but Dutch or French is also perfectly fine, especially for bar owners. Some more info: My name is Kosmos Khoroshavin, I’m a student studying and working in journalism. I am a copyeditor and reporter at The Brussels Times. However, this story is unrelated to any media and is not planned as a commercial project. This short documentary is a final year graduation project for Thomas More University in Mechelen. We can’t propose any financial rewards for participation, but we will treat your story with deep respect and curiosity.
