Hello Luke, Marcin, Alasdair, lists,
IMHO, the realistic option is https://www.fosdem.org/2020/fringe/ . Apply for a spot on that list through https://submission.fosdem.org/submission/fringe .
Kind regards,
Mark FOSDEM vzw

apologies for the cross-list post, the topic is very likely to be of direct or indirect interest, please do share elsewhere, however for questions please do reach out directly to Marcin from OSE rather than crosspost replies!
the OpenSourceEcology Project is running a hands-on real-time collaboration and training course for 9 days that happens to have one of its camps in Ghent, Belgium, only around an hour by train away from FOSDEM and running up to overlap with FOSDEM only on its last 2 days, Feb 1st and 2nd, 2020.

Marcin's Ted Talk is here: https://www.ted.com/talks/marcin_jakubowski_open_sourced_blueprints_for_civi...
it is the beginning of a practical real-world bootstrap process for a modern civilisation and actually uses and puts into use everything that we love about FOSS and FOSH.
participants will get to actually *make* a 3D Printer, a CNC milling machine, then use those to fabricate an Arduino PCB which... you get the idea. a battery operated welder will also be one of the hands-on projects.
Alasdair, an idea just occurred to me: can we discuss privately, they are doing "remote" collaboration: is there room / time for OSE to book a workshop by remote link, for two reasons: one in case FOSDEM attendees are interested to see what is going on, but secondly, if anyone who attends STEAM would like to keep in touch whilst attending FOSDEM? Can we discuss off-list(s)?
best,
l.
