This edition of 360 CARLA – Health is dedicated to the memory of Tine De Pauw, the driving force behind the very first CARLA event, which she organized at VUB with vision, passion, and care. As a devoted STEM and Outreach Officer at VUB B-PHOT for over a decade, Tine inspired countless students and colleagues through her commitment to photonics and education. She would have celebrated her 37th birthday this year. Though she is no longer with us, her energy, kindness, and belief in the transformative power of photonics continue to guide our work. We honor her legacy by supporting the next generation of talent in the field she helped shape. The event is free of charge, and food will be provided.
