The activity of Re-Bel was devoted to the important question "Belgian vs. Flemish diplomacy. Conflict or Cooperation?". It was held on Thursday 16 January 2025 from 5.30 to 7 pm, concurrently at the University Foundation (11 rue d'Egmontstraat, 1000 Brussels) and online. The panel, introducing the theme, consisted of

• Axel BUYSE, former General Representative of the Government of Flanders at the Permanent Representation of Belgium at the EU,
• Johan VERBEKE, former Belgian Ambassador in London and Washington and Permanent Representative at the UN, who teaches at VUB and ULB and is a senior researcher at the Egmont Institute,
• Sofia VANDENBOSCH, postdoctoral researcher in Constitutional Law at Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law and affiliated researcher at UCLouvain. 

The conversation (Dutch/French) was moderated, as usual, by Béatrice DELVAUX (Le Soir) and Karel VERHOEVEN (De Standaard).
