Wrapping up the school year on a high note - and celebrating the benefits of our collaboration with the Sint Dimpna College, Geel!

After two years of hard work, Joost Ledeganck and Stan Claes, presented their work performed together with Amélie Rousseau Bertels under supervision of Surya Gupta and Felice Mastroleo at SCK CEN.

What began as an extracurricular project 'Development of a Searchable Database of Radiation Protective Agents' evolved into a real research experience:
🔍 Exploring scientific literature
🧹 Cleaning and structuring complex datasets
📊 Visualizing insights with Power BI

This wasn’t just about learning new tools. It was about stepping into the shoes of researchers and contributing to something bigger. 🌍

At SCK CEN Academy, we’re incredibly proud to have supported these young talents and to witness their growth in a real-world research setting. 

💡Experiences like this are what inspire the next generation of scientists and shape future-ready professionals.
