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.
UCLouvain maintains 25 technology platforms with a variety of expertise and resources.
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.
