Limburg Clinical Research Center (LCRC)

The Limburg Clinical Research Centre (LCRC) is a unique collaboration between Hasselt University, Jessa Hospital and the Ziekenhuis Oost-Limburg (ZOL). We want to improve our healthcare, by combining both academic research and clinical practice. As an internationally oriented academic-medical knowledge center in Limburg, LCRC aims to form an important stimulus for top medical care, academic education and healthcare innovation in Limburg and Flanders.

Transport Research Institute (IMOB)

At IMOB we shape future mobility by providing scientifically sound solutions to major challenges faced by society and industry.

Business Economics

Good academic research is the foundation for quality academic education and is an important link in the innovation chain. The research of the faculty focuses on a number of spearhead areas. Several of these spearhead themes are closely linked to socio-economic challenges and opportunities in the region: entrepreneurship and the management of family businesses, environmental economics, logistics and diversity in organizations are some examples.

Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG)

The Construction Engineering Research Group (CERG) focusses its research on the analytical, numerical and experimental assessment of the technical design of both structures and road infrastructure. In doing so, CERG wants to facilitate the transfer from fundamental research towards practical applications and into practice.

Rehabilitation Research Center (REVAL)

The REVAL research group at the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences focuses on interdisciplinary and technology-supported research within rehabilitation, with a focus on clinical applications in practice. Here, the focus is on the individual with the aim of promoting each person's functioning, health and well-being. Through the service platform ReLab, contract research is also possible.

ArcK

ArcK: research in architecture and interior architecture

ArcK conducts multidisciplinary research into the built environment around important societal challenges. Our design-oriented research is structured according to five core themes: "repurposing heritage", "sustainability of buildings", "participation in spatial transformation processes", "experience, well-being and inclusion", and "artistic research". ArcK's research fits seamlessly with the civic ambition of our university.

ArcK

MAD: research in the arts

MAD-Research (Media, Arts & Design) aims to set the tone in the artistic research field, exploring the complex relationship between media, art and society. The focus is on research based on public space, research that approaches the (art) object from a cross-disciplinary approach, and research into different media that blurs the boundaries of traditional text and image.

Law

Centre for Government and Law (CORe)

The Centre for Government and Law (CORe) is the research group of the Faculty of Law, which consists of a unique collaboration across the various legal domains. CORe's research focuses on the relationships between citizens and government, for example in constitutional law, administrative law, environmental law and tax law. In addition, research is conducted into the relationships between citizens, for example in family law, contract law, property law, economic and social law. CORe strongly believes in the added value of multidisciplinarity.
