The Cétral – the Transdisciplinary Center for the Study of Food Transformations and Transitions – is now part of the FERM technology platform, alongside the university farms of Louvain.

The Purple4Life initiative, coordinated by UMONS, is built on the potential of purple bacteria to convert agri-food by-products into high-value nutritional compounds.

The new SYSBIOL platform can be used to establish a list of factors involved in the development of idiopathic pathology.

Renovation work in the Maxwell building's basements is now complete, enabling installation of WELCOME's optoelectronic/multiphysics equipment.

Thanks to the HDx-MS technology recently deloped within the MASSPROT platform (Woluwé site), a team of researchers from UCLouvain and the University of Lille has just reached an important milestone in cancer research by developing a revolutionary new compound: LIBX-A401.

To meet the need to upgrade the detection capabilities of its UltraPerformance Convergence Chromatography (UPC²) acquired in 2012, the LIBST-BNTE technical team collaborated with the MOCA platform to acquire a new mass spectrometer as part of the Plan de Relance and the Energy Transition Platform of Excellence funded by Wallonia.

As part of the Plan de Relance and the Energy Transition Platform of Excellence, the CREDEM has just acquired a state-of-the-art flow visualisation and optical diagnostics system to develop new experimental activities and increase its expertise in this field.

With the support of the LACAMI and WINFAB platforms, a team from UCLouvain has developed a new type of coating with exceptional mechanical properties, which holds great promise for use in environments combining corrosion, erosion, wear and mechanical stress.

The main aim of this platform is twofold : to provide a quality service to the public in recognised areas of expertise, and to enable research into clinical or specific populations.

On Wednesday 26 March 2025, UCLouvain was honoured to welcome His Excellency Tharman Shanmugaratnam, President of the Republic of Singapore, as part of his official visit to Belgium.
