Teacher Education Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Decree concerning teacher education and continuous professional education foresees that the departments for teacher education also develop educational research. IDLO is striving for an overall subject-didactical research, research on educational didactics, and the development of research on education-oriented themes which contribute to the teacher education. These goals are certainly stimulated by the multidisciplinarity within IDLO. The ...
Analytical, Categorical and Algebraic Topology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research team investigates mathematical structures that are important in several basic areas of mathematics like geometry, representation theory, functional analysis, differential calculus or theory of approximation. The motivation also comes from outside mathematics, from computer science or physics where some of the mathematical structures that are studied are called upon as models. By application of methods from category theory the ...

Sexual and Reproductive Health Research Group Institute of Tropical Medicine
We contribute to the improvement of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) through linking scientific research, advanced education, policy support and capacity-strengthening. We focus on the broader perspective of promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights through addressing one overarching research question: “How can we improve SRH focusing on disease prevention and health promotion in a globalized world?”
We believe that ...
Animal Husbandry Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
In this applied scientific research, ILVO focuses on sustainable cattle, pig, poultry and rabbit husbandry. Our first focus is nutritional physiology research to match the nutrient supply as closely as possible to the animal’s needs. Closely related research studies how to minimise the excretion of nutrients into the environment. Our functional nutrition research focuses not only on improving the health of the animal, but also strives to ...
Centexbel - Scientific and Technical Centre of the Belgian Textile industry Centexbel - Scientific and Technical Centre of the Belgian Textile industry
We, at Centexbel, believe that Europe has a fascinating textile and plastic processing industry and we are proud to be part of it. Every single day we meet passionate people, we encounter great companies, we discover exciting technologies.

Computational Modelling Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Computational Modeling Lab, COMO, is headed by Prof. dr. Bernard Manderick and Prof. Dr. Ann Nowé, and has on average 10 PhD students. The research group focuses on the one hand on the modelling of natural phenomena, and on the other hand on developing algorithms for complex problem solving inspired by these natural phenomena. COMO has experience in a wide range of learning techniques such as Reinforcement Learning, Genetic Algorithms, ...
