Gilles Cremers (20) is studying Public Administration at Ghent University. As a third-year undergraduate, he undertook a three-month placement at IDEA Consult. He investigated the extent to which local authorities were required to make savings when drawing up the 2026–2031 multi-year plan, and how they went about tackling this challenge. We spoke to Gilles about his first steps in research and consultancy.
IDEA Consult is SDG Champion!
In June, the IDEA team proudly received the SDG Champion certificate from CIFAL Brussels. A meaningful recognition of the sustainability efforts we have made as an organisation over the past years. But what does that mean exactly?
Once upon a time, there were twenty-five consultants at the opera.
Admittedly, it sounds like the beginning of a (somewhat strange) joke, but it is just the opposite.
Knowledge at the core: How learning shapes our future
At IDEA Consult, investing in learning isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s part of who we are. Knowledge is our greatest asset and forms the foundation of the value we bring to clients and society.
The IDEA team recharges its batteries in Leuven
On 12 September, we travelled to Leuven for a team day with our IDEA colleagues. It is a city that perfectly matches who we are and what we stand for: thinking ahead, connecting and strengthening. It is also the city that we, as IDEA, were able to propel towards becoming the Cultural Capital in 2030.

Building sustainable impact from day one
We sat down with two former trainees who successfully transitioned from an in-depth traineeship to a fixed position within IDEA. Their stories reflect the value of our investment in young talent — and how a well-guided start can lead to lasting impact.
