The Spiral Research Centre at the University of Liège will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2025.

An anniversary is an opportunity to pause and reflect on the past, present and future; it's a time for reflection and anticipation. During this period, SPIRAL will be organising a number of events, which can be viewed on this page.
