Operations Research and Statistics Research Group (ORSTAT) (main work address Leuven) KU Leuven
In operations research, a challenging research area is combinatorial optimization. Next to exact methods such as branch-and-bound, branch-and-price, also approximation algorithms are studied. Assignment and scheduling problems, winner determination problems and research on client-oriented vehicle routing problems are some of the subjects under study. Further emphasis is placed on machine scheduling, resource-constrained project planning and ...

Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems (M²S) KU Leuven
The Department of Microbial and Molecular Systems (M²S) consists of 3 research centres: Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis; Centre for Food and Microbial Technology; Centre of Microbial and Plant Genetics. The Bioengineering Technology TC is also a part of the department.
Fluid Mechanics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Main research domains of STRO: 1. Computational Fluid Dynamics Computational Fluid Dynamics, in short CFD, is the technology aimed at the computer simulation of flows of liquids and gases. It is presently applied widely in research and industry, in all areas where the motion of fluids are important. In particular, aerodynamics, aerospace, hydraulics, environmental studies of air and water pollution dispersion and transport, wind energy, ...
Department of Work and Organisation Studies (main work address Leuven) KU Leuven
The Department of Work and Organisation Studies (WOS) aims to extend knowledge on psychosocial well-being and on organizational practices, policies, and processes that affect the nature and conditions of work and the organization of labor within the society. The Department’s interdisciplinary nature is a strong advantage as it enables the group to study particular research topics from different angles and to use a variety of research ...
Geology KU Leuven
The researchers from the Department of Geology concentrate on the study of Planet Earth. In particular we study the geosphere – the ‘solid’ Earth – and try to figure out the significance of processes in the geosphere with respect to the functioning of Earth’s systems from global to local scale. In our research we look into ‘deep time’, but always in the perspective of the challenges our society faces today and in the future. Besides the ...
Department of Mechanical construction and production Ghent University
Educational Effectiveness and Evaluation KU Leuven
The research in the Centre for Educational Effectivness and Evaluation focuses on the functioning of schools, teachers and classes.
Current studies deal with the school career of secondary school students and the effectiveness of schools.
The studies on the school career of students concentrate on the cognitive and non-cognitive effects of repeating classes, the transition from school to job, and the development of the academic ...
Materials Technology, Diepenbeek Campus KU Leuven
The Materials Technology Cluster groups the application driven research activities and services to society at the different campuses of KU Leuven in the field of materials technologies. The cluster plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between fundamental and conceptual research on the one hand and industrial valorisation and implementation on the other, in both research-driven and demand-driven innovation contexts.
