Belgium's NATO Commitment

​With rising geopolitical tensions and evolving security threats, NATO’s call for member states to meet the 2% defense spending norm has become more pressing than ever. For Belgium, this commitment is not just a budgetary question—it’s a strategic choice that will shape its role in European and transatlantic security. As the U.S. navigates political uncertainty under the Trump administration, the future of NATO solidarity is at stake. Is Belgium ready to step up? How should Belgium position itself in this shifting landscape? And what are the broader implications for Europe and the transatlantic alliance?

Recognizing the urgency to address this multifaceted challenge, the Belgian Leadership Project (BLP), the America Europe Youth Forum (AEYF), and Jeugd Parlement Jeunesse (JPJ) jointly organize this panel.

Every year, members within the The BLP cohort get the opportunity to organize events that are open to everyone.

This year, one of such events is the Nuclear Energy event organized by the cohort team: Serdar, Guus and Debora. (Registrations are open, link in bio)

The goal of this event is to introduce you to the world of Nuclear Energy, and bring you up to speed in all the developments in the sector.

To help us do this, we will be having three incredible speakers:
- Ir. Marc Deffrennes
- ⁠Prof. Nathal Severijns
- ⁠Mr. Bert Wollants

They will each touch on an aspect of Nuclear Energy that will give you a comprehensive overview with each having unique and diverse viewpoints.

Regardless of whether you know all things Nuclear, or are completely new to this topic, we are convinced you will find something insightful to takeaway from this event.

Come for the insights, stay for the free drinks/food, and leave with new connections and knowledge!

This event is organized in collaboration with Academics for Development.

The BLP was once again kindly invited to the Royal Palace in Brussels. 🇧🇪

We met with Mr. Vincent Houssiau, chief of cabinet of H.R.H. King Philippe, to discuss the role of the Belgian Monarchy, elections of June, and his career as diplomat. We were also joined by Mr. Brent Van Tassel, economic advisor to His Majesty, who is responsible for the trade missions of Belgian companies alongside H.R.H. Princess Astrid.

Last week, BLP-alumnus .thomas gave an interactive workshop about social media and entrepreneurship. He shared his journey and key learnings, as he went from BCG consultant and part time content creator, to entrepreneur / family officer. Always nice to see our alumni achieving amazing things, and taking the time to coach the next generation!
