Research projects

In Flemish education, there is often talk of working excellently and maximizing talent, but at the same time, the least attention is paid to those who have the most potential and, as a result, they are at risk of dropping out.                                                      

The Tope Sterk projects aim to increase opportunities for young people in vulnerable situations through student tutoring.Students from higher education act as guides to support pupils in primary or secondary education in their learning process.                                    

The D4E1 Lab (Design for Everyone) within the Industrial Design Center (IDC) is one of the pioneers in human-centered and participatory healthcare innovation in Flanders, with successful projects like Makerhealth and Makeability.
