In 1992 she received a Frank Boas Fulbright scholarship for graduate study at Harvard University and became a research fellow in the Laboratory for Neuroscience Research headed by Dr. Larry Benowitz, Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston (1992-1993). In 1999 she joined as a post-doctoral fellow a new gene therapy project for neurodegenerative diseases, which was the start of her own research group. In 2003 she was appointed as assistant professor at the KU Leuven and in 2007 as full-time research professor (BOF-ZAP). She is now head of the Laboratory for Neurobiology and Gene Therapy. Her research focuses on disease modeling and therapy for Parkinson’s disease using viral vectors in cell culture and in vivo. The underlying rationale is that the generation of more relevant models in cells and in pre-clinical model brain will lead to a better insight into the molecular pathogenesis of PD and to the development of new therapeutic strategies and drugs.

Since 2002 a prospective collection of brain tissue from well-documented early onset and familial dementia cases has been added to the portfolio. Approximately 90 cases are received each year and all are subject to an extensive diagnostic process and a full report is issued by either Dr Holton or Professor Revesz. Following this, cases are made available to researchers for study. Dr Holton is actively involved in neuropathological research in the fields of multiple system atrophy, Parkinson’s disease and dystonia. National Committees Prof Holton is an active member of the British Neuropathological Society and has held the offices of Treasurer and Chair of the Education and Meetings Committee.

  • Benoît Rihoux1, Audrey Vandeleene1, Lieven De Winter1, Pierre
    Belgium (2014 – published 2015) Benoît Rihoux1, Audrey Vandeleene1, Lieven De Winter1, Pierre Baudewyns1, Serge Deruette2 1 Centre de Science Politique et de Politique Comparée (CESPOL), Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium; 2Université de Mons, Belgium INTRODUCTION The year 2014 was particularly dense, with simultaneous regional, parliamentary and European Parliament elections on 25 May. This was followed by a relatively short government formation process towards an unprecedented ‘Swedish’ federal cabinet. The electoral cycle took place in the context of a still quite difficult socioeconomic situation and ethnolinguistic tensions at the elite level. ELECTION REPORT Regional Elections: 25 May 2014 Most parties did not present a separate regional and federal manifesto (De Winter and Van Wynsberghe forthcoming), therefore blurring regional and federal issues. Remarkably, following the electoral results at the regional level (Blaise et al. 2014b), the regional government formations brought regionalist parties in power in three of the five regional/community governments. In Flanders, the N-VA became the predominant party in the Flemish region, replacing the CD&V, and thus legitimately claimed the leadership of the formation of the Flemish executive, which resulted in the formation of the Bourgeois I government with the N-VA, the CD&V and the Open VLD. At the Walloon elections, of the three incumbent coalition parties (PS, CdH and Ecolo) only the latter lost heavily, with the fourth traditional party (MR) regaining some ground, as well as the newcomers PTB and PP. The new Walloon government was formed as a left-centre coalition of the PS and CdH, under the leadership of P. Magnette (PS), while the executive of the Francophone community government was headed by the incumbent R.

  • Bart Maddens SECESSIONIST STRATEGIES: the CASE of FLANDERS 55 the Flemish Paradox
    SECESSIONIST STRATEGIES: THE CASE OF FLANDERS Bart Maddens Full professor of Political Science, University of Leuven landers is often cited as one of the European regions which is closest to secession, together with Catalonia and Scotland. It F is particularly the spectacular success of the separatist Nieuw- Vlaamse Alliantie (N-VA) which has fueled speculation about an imminent break-up of Belgium. In this paper, I will first of all assess how strong separatism really is in Flanders. Next, I will discuss both the discursive and the practical strategies the Flemish nationalists have developed against Belgium, with a special focus on the role of the EU in these strategies. Finally I will briefly deal with the current political situation and its possible implications. The Flemish paradox If we look at the election results, the Flemish secessionist movement appears to be a growing and important political force in Belgium. As shown in Graph 1, the Flemish nationalist or autonomist parties increased their vote from 5.2% to 15% during the interbellum. After the Second World War there was a relapse due to the collaboration of a part of the Flemish movement with the German occupier. From the sixties onwards, the Flemish nationalist Volksunie party grew stronger and peaked in 1971 with 18.8% of the Flemish vote. During the nineties this centre party gradually waned due to internal ideological conflicts, and was replaced by the far-right and anti-immigrant Vlaams Blok, later renamed Vlaams Belang. This party peaked at 24% support in 2004. The other Belgian parties refused to govern with this far-right party.

  • Belgium 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    BELGIUM 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of religion, and the law prohibits discrimination based on religious orientation. Federal law bans covering one’s face in public. Following the March 22 terrorist attacks at the Brussels airport and a metro station in downtown Brussels in which 32 civilians died and another 300 were injured, the government reemphasized its concern over mosques spreading “radical” messages. It intensified its efforts, begun in reaction to the terrorist attacks in Paris in 2015, to encourage more mosques to fulfill the requirements for official recognition, which observers said was a means of increasing government oversight. While the regional and federal governments stated tens of unregistered mosques had applied for recognition, media reports suggested only a few had completed the process. The government allocated funds to pay the salaries of 80 new imams, double the number previously receiving government subsidies. In February the Council of State issued a decision allowing teachers of Islam to wear headscarves at school, even for activities other than teaching, although Flemish community schools refused to implement the ruling. Individual public schools continued to have the right to impose a ban on students wearing religious attire, and most public schools continued policies restricting the wearing of headscarves. Concluding a judicial process lasting 18 years, in March the Brussels Court acquitted the Church of Scientology of the illegal practice of medicine, fraud, organized criminal activity, and the violation of privacy laws. After ISIS claimed responsibility for the March 22 suicide bombings in Brussels, Muslim community leaders publicly condemned the attacks, but anti-Muslim incidents and protests increased.
