The Think Tank Group – Strategic Alliance Around Marianne Labs
A Multidisciplinary Network for Awareness, Technology, and Policy
At the heart of Marianne Labs, a unique think tank group has emerged — a collaborative alliance of academics, strategic advisors, and experts from both the public and private sectors.
This network serves as the intellectual and ethical compass of the project, where science, governance, and technology converge.
In close collaboration with the Université de Louvain (ULC), the think tank unites individuals who are active or have served within justice, government, defense, international institutions, and the corporate world.
Among its members are:
Professors and researchers specializing in data analytics, ecology, and cognitive systems.
Criminologists and legal experts with experience in justice and European regulation.
IT and cybersecurity specialists with backgrounds in defense and governmental infrastructures.
Government and GDPR-licensed consultants ensuring ethical and legal compliance.
Senior advisors and consultants formerly associated with Microsoft, Gartner, and international defense and security agencies.
Project management experts guiding large-scale initiatives across public and private sectors.
Together, they form a crisis-oriented think tank, capable of analyzing complex challenges through human, technological, ethical, and geopolitical lenses.
From Strategy to Insight
The group functions as a reflection and advisory body within the broader Marianne ecosystem.
Its core mission is to explore:
Ethical AI implementation within societal and governmental structures.
Security and sovereignty models for digital infrastructures.
Non-binary frameworks for decision-making and crisis navigation.
Integration of technology, humanity, and nature within complex adaptive systems.
The think tank combines academic depth with field expertise, forming a strategic bridge between theory and practice.
Each session becomes a space where science, policy, and creative intelligence meet — always guided by one purpose:
“To understand the unpredictable, in order to act responsibly.”
A Living Laboratory for Collaboration
Within the serene environment of Château Morreau, serving as a living laboratory, the think tank finds both its physical and symbolic home.
In a place where history, technology, and silence coexist, ideas emerge that transcend disciplines — anchoring the Marianne Project in ethical innovation and human-centered intelligence.
Visual Concept
Voor het bijhorende beeld stel ik het volgende voor (ik kan het nu genereren):
Stijl: kosmisch-intellectueel (zoals de Octol-beelden, maar subtiel menselijker).
Compositie: lichtlijnen die hersenactiviteit en verbinding tussen geesten symboliseren — als energetische netwerken in een kosmisch veld.
Kleuren: diep indigo, zacht goud, turquoise en wit licht — symbolen voor kennis, samenwerking en integriteit.
Sfeer: rust, focus, collectieve intelligentie — geen mensen herkenbaar, enkel licht en energie-structuren.
