Itinera Institute

Independent think tank for sustained economic growth and social protection.

The Itinera Institute is an independent and non-partisan think-tank and do-tank that identifies and promotes roads for policy reform towards sustained economic growth and social protection, for Belgium and its regions.

25/08/2026

Why does Itinera do what it does?
Because good policy does not happen by itself. And leaders in the broad sense of the word deserve inspiration, expertise and sparring.

Major societal challenges require more than quick analysis or easy slogans. They require independent research, critical thinking and the willingness to turn ideas into concrete solutions.
That is what Itinera has been doing since 2006.

As an independent think-and-do tank, we bring together experts, entrepreneurs, civil society and policymakers. We examine what can be improved, develop policy recommendations and build bridges between knowledge and action.

Today, we focus on three clusters of major challenges for Belgium and Europe:
• a resilient society
• prosperity and welfare
• better governance

With one ambition: to contribute to lasting prosperity and well-being, today and for generations to come.

Want to read something interesting this summer? Head to our website to discover Julien De Wit’s latest inspiration document on how to make our society more resilient.

‘Becoming a more resilient society does not require policy measures alone; It also requires a kind of meta narrative that binds society together. I hope with the paper can provide both.’

The paper Itinera launches today is based on Julien’s recent book De Comeback Code (Ertsberg, 2026).

We look back on a splendid edition of our Itinera Summer Academy. Imagine being brought up to speed on today’s most pressing societal challenges while having the opportunity to debate solutions with peers.

That is what the Itinera Summer Academy was all about.

On the first day, our Summer Academy alumni attended Love Tomorrow, where our fellow Julien delivered a keynote to a broad audience. On the festival grounds, Itinera also hosted a Greenhouse where young leaders could network and brainstorm.

The second day was all about knowledge. Our fellows delivered presentations and workshops on geopolitics, economics, resilience, housing and democracy.

Yesterday, Itinera was present at the Love Tomorrow Summit.
Our Senior Fellow, Julien De Wit, took to the Core Stage to deliver a keynote on resilience that caught the interest of a large audience.
Meanwhile, at the In4Care Community Health Village, our Itinera House welcomed visitors for conversations on public policy and the challenges shaping tomorrow.
It sparked many engaging discussions and inspiring exchanges.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by.

Our co-CEO Marc De Vos recently spoke at the EU’s Annual EU
Budget Conference.

“There is no single person in Europe who thinks they can do it without Europe. [..] There is room for growth - there is even room for a quantum leap. We have to become more creative, more daring or we will not be competitive.”

Onze fellow Johan Albrecht gaf een interview aan De Tijd.

De highlights:
👉 In zowat alle landen worden ouderen met een complexe zorgvraag of een beperkte levensverwachting — denk aan palliatieve oncologiepatiënten — frequent opgenomen in het ziekenhuis om allerlei onderzoeken te ondergaan, waarna wordt vastgesteld dat geen verdere interventies nodig of opportuun zijn. Zeer belastend voor de patiënt, duur voor het systeem.

👉In Nederland wordt daarom geëxperimenteerd met proactieve communicatie voor oncologiepatiënten die het ziekenhuis verlaten: familieleden, huisartsen, mantelzorgers en thuisverplegers worden vooraf duidelijk geïnformeerd over hoe met bepaalde complicaties en symptomen best wordt omgegaan. De aanpak werkt. Het aantal heropnames daalde sterk, en wie toch werd opgenomen, verbleef aanzienlijk minder lang in het ziekenhuis. Johan mocht hierover input geven bij een artikel in De Tijd over ouderenzorg.

👉Ons complexe zorgsysteem is organisch gegroeid in een tijdvak waarin meer capaciteit aanbieden primeerde op systeemefficiëntie. Er is dus een aanzienlijk efficiëntiepotentieel — zoals overigens in elke grote organisatie, publiek of privaat. Wat echt telt, is het benutten van dat potentieel en tegelijkertijd meer ‘value for money’ bieden.

👉Het Nederlandse voorbeeld toont aan dat dit geen bedreigend verhaal hoeft te zijn. Deze vorm van efficiëntie is geen besparing óp zorg, maar betere zorg die ook nog eens goedkoper blijkt. De minst nuttige ziekenhuisopname is er een die de patiënt zelf liever niet had gehad.

More about our recent paper on itinera.team

02/07/2026

Eerder deze week stelden we met Itinera de paper rond intergenerationele beleidsvoering voor. Het voorlopige slotstuk van ons project HOPE. Met dat project trachtten we jongeren inspraak te geven in het werk van Itinera.

We begonnen met een jongerenbarometer: een grote metastudie die alles wat we weten over de staat van de Belgische jongere capteerde.

We organiseerden verder ook policy labs, waarbij jongeren werden uitgenodigd om mee een groot maatschappelijk onaanvaardbaar probleem te analyseren en er oplossingen voor te formuleren.

Maandag was er dan onze samenkomst op Kasteel Diepensteyn, een prachtige en inspirerende plek. Onze co-ceo Ank De Wilde en Julien De Wit stelden er een paper voor die onderzoekt hoe we de plek van verschillende generaties - jong en oud - systematisch kunnen verankeren.

Een panel bestaande uit Johan Albrecht, Naïma Lafrarchi en Samuel-Joe Munanga ging dieper op de kwestie in.

Snuif alvast de sfeer mee op via onderstaande beelden. Meer weten over HOPE? check itinera.team.

In just 28 days, Itinera will be at the Love Tomorrow Summit.

We partnered with In4Care Community and Love Tomorrow because we share the same ambition: to inspire people and bring fresh ideas to societal debates that too often become rigid and entrenched.

There are those who talk about change, and those who make it happen.

We know that you, as a supporter or partner of Itinera, belong to the latter.

That is why we warmly invite you to visit the Itinera Greenhouse at Love Tomorrow. Join us for inspiring conversations with our experts and team, exchange ideas, and help us nurture the seeds of change together.

We look forward to seeing you there. Because at Itinera, we inspire leaders. 🌱
