Innovation in various research domains drives progress and unravels the mysteries of our world. A multidisciplinary approach fosters discoveries and solutions that expand our horizons and shape the future.
The Transportation Research Institute of Hasselt University shapes the mobility of the future by providing scientifically based solutions to the major challenges society and industry are facing. IMOB is active in the domains of mobility and road safety and focuses on travel behavior. We do this by studying the interaction between behavior, infrastructure and technology.
The researchers at the Studies in Media, Innovation & Technology (SMIT) research group are dedicated to 3 smart application domains: Media, Cities, and Health & Work. They offer services in living labs, market & policy and privacy & ethics. SMIT is a research group of the VUB and imec.

This project of the interdisciplinary Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) supported by the Industrial Research Fund of the VUB, focuses on the optimisation of legal and ethical use of technologies for Cybersecurity and Health. LSTS nurtures a bottom-up interdisciplinary approach, whereby disciplinary scientific (legal, criminological, sociological, technological, etc.) practices and research meet, seek mutual interest and understanding, and build up articulations that remain respectful of the different constraints of the disciplines involved, their own way of constructing questions and issues and their mutual impacts. The Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) research group comprises two distinct labs: the Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL) and the Health and Ageing Law Lab (HALL).
Since 2011, the Alamire Foundation has coordinated and directed its knowledge management process from the House of Polyphony. Activities are determined by the organization’s goals and methodology: safeguarding the knowledge developed, but simultaneously comparing it to practical reality and then going on to generate new insights and expertise.
This implies that valorization must be understood as more than a research result: instead, it is an integral part of that research and plays a determining role in it. Due to the unique interaction between science, performance and audience that emerges from this, the House of Polyphony was confirmed by international experts in 2016, in response to the awarding of an Industrial Research Fund mandate (IOF), as an International Centre of Excellence for opening up the musical heritage of the Low Countries.
DigitGLAM supports GLAM institutions (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) with developing a strong, state-of-the-art digital curation, online presence and user engagement, both on the web and social media, to reach out to and empower key audiences and stakeholders, based on the latest research insights combined with longstanding experience in the sector.
DigitGLAM is a collaboration between research groups at KU Leuven from the Humanities, Social Sciences and Engineering. We deliver expertise and services on three axes:
The Data Science Institute brings together more than 150 researchers working in the broad field of data science, spread across faculties and research groups at Hasselt University.
The main goal of DSI is to facilitate the data-driven future. We are committed to data-related challenges, fundamental innovations and applicable solutions.

The research of the Faculty of Business Economics (BEW) at Hasselt University focuses on a number of spearhead domains. 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.
ArcK is the research group of the Faculty of Architecture and Arts of Hasselt University that focuses on research in architecture and interior architecture. We conduct fundamental and applied research on the built environment. In a multidisciplinary team we work on important societal challenges, such as a purposeful and adaptive reuse of our heritage, the inclusion of diverse groups in spatial transformation processes, critical reflection on and contribution to the environmental impact of our built environment, inclusive design, design for wellbeing and experience,...
These challenges are covered in 5 research domains: ‘spatial capacity building’, ‘sustainability’, ‘designing for more’, ‘Trace: heritage & adaptive reuse’ and ‘FRAME’.
The MAD research group is a collaboration between the Faculty of Architecture and Art of UHasselt and the PXL-MAD School<
MOBI is the innovative research hub for electromobility in Europe and aims to make a strong contribution to a more sustainable society. With more than 120 specialists, we form a multidisciplinary team that supports the transition to a more environmentally friendly and electrified mobility and transport system.
