VITO employee in the spotlight
Lisa works as a researcher in the Energy unit
Lisa Damen already knew during her student days that she wanted to work on sustainability. Today, she measures and quantifies these aspects for buildings and construction materials in the VITO/EnergyVille EPIC team. ‘My work is very diverse, and I do love that variation as you’re constantly learning new things.’ Lisa is very closely involved with VITO after work too, as one of the leading Activito staff.

VITO Alumni network
If you have worked at VITO – whether as a staff member, PhD student, postdoc or visiting researcher – it will always prove insightful to stay in touch with your former VITO colleagues. Their continued pursuit of different but equally challenging professional paths will keep you connected to VITO’s vision for an accelerated transition to a sustainable world.
OnePlanet@VITO
VITO’s research is based solidly on sustainability. However, VITO also wishes to play an exemplary role by continuing to make its organisation more sustainable. We are doing this in the OnePlanet@VITO project.
SDGs
VITO is a leading international research and consulting centre. Its research agenda focuses on today’s major social challenges: climate change, food security, raw materials scarcity, a sustainable energy supply and an ageing population. In this way, VITO supports not only the future vision of Flanders but also the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
