Work with ICTEAM

Is your team facing a technical challenge, testing a new idea or looking for a research partner? At ICTEAM, UCLouvain, we work with companies in computer science, electrical engineering and applied mathematics. 

You can start with a conversation or a student project, develop a joint R&D project, or build a longer-term partnership.

Tell us what you’re working on. We’ll help you find the researchers who can explore it with you.
