September-December 2006
From 1st September to 31st December, our façade will be decorated with banners in honour of our centennial. The accidental tourist, the passer-by, our neighbours will thus get the message that we are celebrating and feel part of the international community that is the ITM.

The Post issued an ITM stamp in honour of our festive year. In the weekend of 23-24 September, we welcomed more than 1000 philatelists and other visitors at the exhibition organised by Imperator, a stamp collector club from Antwerp.
We even had our own post office for one day where our stamp together with a First day cover and First day sheet. Enthusiasts could even post ITM postcards in Room Agora with the special ITM stamp on it. A truly memorable and a bit out of the ordinary event.

100 recipes for the next 100 years. It seems that ITM staff is not only famous for its research…. Their cooking and writing skills will be immortalized in this book. Secret creams made of fruit and shoe polish that works miracles on baggy eyes, recipes discovered while on a field trip, it’s all there. The book will be a fun gadget for everyone close to ITM. We can guarantee that it will get place of honour on your kitchen shelf.

In 2000 Moët & Chandon presented the "Antwerp Fashion Five" with a magnum from the collection "Esprit du Temps" (estimated value minimum 19.831 €). They, in turn, presented it to the ITM for the benefit of AIDS research. But next to the Magnum, there are other items such as coats donated by Dries Van Noten, suits from George Michael and Koen Wouters (Clouseau), works of art by Jef Van Grieken, and one set of limited prints of Allard l’Olivier whose wonderful paintings can be found in the entrance hall of the ITM. > More info on the different auction items In the media : |

2007 The history of the ITM is full of interesting anecdotes and facts. World-famous scientists, the imposing architecture of our buildings, adventurous experiments… it will all be condensed into one book “100 years ITM”. Because there are so many different aspects to our story and our archives contain thousands of valuable images, finalizing the book is not as easy as we first thought. However, we hope that by the middle of 2007 our amazing story will be published. There is already a non-layouted academic version available at the ITM library or via this link. > Een brug tussen twee werelden
