ELNA

Experiential Learning in and with Nature: Towards Sustainable Implementation in Diverse Contexts                                                                                                                                                                                        

REMOTE COACHING

In this project, we are exploring the possibility of developing a virtual movement platform where movements are felt 'real' in real-time. There is a high dropout rate when individuals are asked to follow an exercise program alone or remotely after an initial start with a coach.  

Sleepcoach 2

Studies show that good sleep enhances the vitality of both employees and organizations. In this project, a widely applicable training program is being developed for workplace wellbeing professionals.                                                                                 

Promised

PROMISED is an innovative research project that helps secondary school teachers address the development of scientific, digital, green and linguistic competencies in a second language in an inclusive and integrated way.                                                              

YET 20

"The best is YET to come" builds on the research project YET (Youth Environment & engagement Tool) that was commissioned by the Flemish Community, Department of the Environment and fitted into the grant call "Together we imagine space."                                            

QUINDO4

Quindo is a hub where young people in Kortrijk are provided with the tools to learn and refine cross-media skills. It's a place where, under guidance, they can produce and present content on an online platform, with streaming radio at its core.

ZorgSTEM

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.                                                   

TEENIE TINY HOUSES

From conversations with partners in the construction sector, it became evident that there is untapped potential for integrating STEM into the construction industry.
