Good academic research is the foundation for good academic education and is an important link in the innovation chain.
On June 7, 2023, UHasselt has organized its Research Day, in the frame of highlighting all research areas of UHasselt. During this research day, we also celebrated 50 years of UHasselt research. You can find the presentations here.
In 2021, Hasselt University joined the EURECA-PRO Alliance. 9 partner universities, including UHasselt, combine forces to enable students and staff to study, teach and research in the field of responsible consumption and production. The Flemish Government provides funding for incoming and outgoing mobility to and from the EURECA-PRO partner universities.
BIOMED conducts multidisciplinary research in three main disease areas: immunology, neuroscience and cardiovascular disease and aims to translate scientific discoveries into applications that contribute to a healthy society in line with the civic ambition of Hasselt University.
CMK research addresses environmental challenges of high societal urgency that cut across the boundaries of specific disciplines, such as, for example, air and soil pollution and the associated health effects, biodiversity loss, and global climate change.
DSI unites data scientists from various disciplines to innovate concepts, methods and software tools for data contextualization, extraction, integration, analysis, modelling, interpretation and data sharing. DSI's methods and tools are applied to important societal challenges in full collaboration with partners in the life science, environmental, logistics, BI, .. sectors and with an open science mindset.
Imo-imomec brings together chemists, physicists and engineers to conduct multidisciplinary materials research. This with a focus on advanced material systems for a sustainable and healthy society. Our core domains: energy conversion, energy storage, sustainable materials, sensors & healthcare materials, and quantum technologies.
The research of the Expertise centre for Digital Media focuses on several core competences: Visual Computing, Networked & Secure Systems, Intelligible Interactive Systems, Computational Science, Computational Design & Fabrication and Data Intelligence & Computation. EDM is active in the full range of the research continuum: from fundamental to basic and applied research as well as contract R&D
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.
At IMOB we shape future mobility by providing scientifically sound solutions to major challenges faced by society and industry.
