Université catholique de Louvain [UCLouvain]

The Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) carries on strong research activities, building upon almost 600 years of experience. UCL has been involved in 176 projects within FP7 and in more than 85 projects in Horizon 2020. Its internal arborescence spans from discipline-specific into interdisciplinary research entities. Twenty-five technological platforms support these entities offering scientific, technical, and administrative management.

The Information and Communication Technologies, Electronics, and Applied Mathematics Institute (ICTEAM) has developed unique expertise in communication systems and networks, artificial intelligence and machine learning, cryptography and information security, sustainable information and communication technology as well as in micro-nanotechnologies for e-health.

The Centre for Applied Molecular Technologies (CTMA) is an academic-clinical-military biotechnological platform mutualizing the resources of three partners: (i) UCL-based biotechnological platform of the Institute of Experimental and Clinical Research, (ii) “Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc”, and (iii) Ministry of Belgian Defence. CTMA is a clinical research-oriented biotechnological platform of UCL.
