From lab to impact

A series for researchers ready to explore new horizons


Are you a researcher looking to amplify the real-world impact of your work? Join us for From lab to impact, a series of 3 info sessions designed to help you imagine what that future could look like.

This series is hosted by Startlab.Brussels and VUB and brings you inspiring real-life stories, plenty of practical insights and the opportunity to connect with researchers who have successfully made the leap.

Whether you are curious about innovation mandates, real-world applications, or building the right team, this is a great opportunity to explore stepping outside the lab.

Who is this for?
Researchers from any discipline who are curious about creating impact, exploring innovation, or rethinking the next step in their career. Because your research has potential far beyond the lab.


Session 2 - May 27th 2025

Funded to make impact. Real stories of innovation mandates in action.


How can you continue working on your research or innovation — and truly bring it to life, even beyond the university?

This session explores how targeted funding and support can unlock new potential and accelerate the real-world use of your work. Whether you’re ready to start a company or simply want to take your research one step further, mechanisms like innovation mandates can offer the stability and momentum you need to move forward.

Hear honest stories from researchers who seized these opportunities to secure time, space, and backing to make their next move - and the unexpected lessons they learned along the way.

Speakers will be confirmed soon.
