SIM² KU Leuven’s mission is to develop, organise and implement problem-driven, science-deep research and future-oriented education, contributing to the environmentally friendly production and recycling of metals, minerals and engineered materials, supporting the transition to a climate-friendly, circular-economy.
SIM² KU Leuven therefore designs, researches and exploits selective and efficient processes for the exploration, extraction, recovery, recycling and refining of (base and critical) metals and minerals, as well as for the upcycling of primary and secondary resources and the re- and demanufacturing of End-of-Life complex metal-containing products.
The division of Applied Mechanics and Energy conversion (TME) consists of five research groups:
The research domain of the ELECTA division covers the broad spectrum of electrical energy systems and robust control of industrial systems. The development of the future smart grid is the key activity.
As one of the largest research groups on electrical energy systems in the Benelux, ELECTA wants to be recognised as a centre-of-excellence on these topics, where fundamental research is combined with immediately and prospectively applicable solutions for the industry.
The Centre for Environmental Sciences (CMK) of Hasselt University focuses on problems surrounding environmental stress in general, and more specifically on the effects on organisms, soil, water and air pollution. Over the years, CMK has developed academic leadership in two complementary research lines: sustainable, clean technologies, and biodiversity, ecosystem services and climate change.
