His core work is focused on the Sustainable Money System (SuMSy), a groundbreaking monetary model that seeks to align financial mechanisms with human well-being and environmental sustainability.

    Stef’s commitment to this mission has led him to pursue a PhD at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), where he is continuing to research and refine the SuMSy model. His goal is to reshape monetary systems to foster sustainable and equitable economic practices. Stef’s research delves deeply into the influence of monetary systems on individual behavior and societal organization.
