Partnerships with universities

Academic-business partnerships come in various forms:

• Test and analyses (of assets of the business using the equipment and know-how of the university)
• Feasibility studies
• Prototype creation and testing
• Development projects, such as software
• Multi-year research projects (development of new concepts, technologies, applications)

Several structures have been put in place to promote communication and encourage partnerships between university research centres and businesses. The universities themselves have established "interface cells". The following universities and university colleges are active in the Brussels-Capital Region.
