Welcome to the exclusive
Difference Day Award Ceremony 2025
It is with great pleasure that Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Université libre de Bruxelles, Erasmushogeschool Brussel, and Bozar invite you to the exclusive Difference Day Award Ceremony, taking place on Friday, 2 May 2025, from 18:30 in the elegant Rotonde Bertouille of Bozar.
This private ceremony, with limited seating, dovetails with the public Difference Day programme and is an invitation-only event.
Honouring the values of freedom of press and expression
The Difference Day Award Ceremony, which first took place 10 years ago, provides the perfect opportunity for meaningful conversations about the lasting importance of press freedom and free expression in a stylish and relaxed setting. Since 2015, these fundamental European values have been the focus of Difference Day.
Festive presentation of two Difference Day Honorary Titles
During the ceremony, followed by a walking dinner, VUB and ULB will present two Difference Day Honorary Titles for Freedom of Expression—a recognition of individuals and organisations that have made outstanding contributions to defending free speech and independent media.
The names of the laureates will be announced later. You will receive an email about this, which will also include the daytime programme of Difference Day and its separate registration option.
Registration for the exclusive Difference Day Award Ceremony award is required. You can do so by clicking the register button above.
We look forward to seeing you at Bozar on 2 May 2025!
