Louvain4: UCLouvain interdisciplinary research initiative
An internationally renowned university, UCLouvain is home to two science parks, in Louvain-la-Neuve and Seneffe, which create synergies between businesses and the university.
Parallel to its teaching and research missions, the university pursues a third mission inseparable from its other activities: serving society. Turning university research findings into services or products accessible to civil society and companies—this is technology transfer.
With 45 technology platforms, UCLouvain provides the scientific community and the socio-economic world with state-of-the-art infrastructures to support teaching and research activities, to establish partnerships and to provide technical external services.
