On Sunday October 5th 2025, ILVO took part in the VOKA Open Company Day. No fewer than 1,346 visitors passed HYDRAS along one of the ILVO walks. They were amazed to discover how unique the combination of drought covers, drones and geophysics is and what research we are doing to prepare crops for more frequent and longer periods of drought in Flanders. The following day, we welcomed another 150 students from agricultural colleges.
