Platforms are often presented as tools for research. But that overlooks the fact that they are also valuable allies for teaching. At OpenHub, two students, as part of their final-year project, designed an automated robotic arm capable of sorting waste.

The objective of ChipsWIN? To bridge research and industry in electronics and semiconductors, from concept to market.

On Tuesday, May 5, the assembly and load testing of the structures designed and built by the construction engineering students of the École polytechnique de Louvain took place at the LEMSC platform. 🎯 Objective: to cross a 6.5 m ravine without access to the opposite bank, using a maximum of 85 kg of materials (wood and steel).

As pillars of experimental activities—whether related to research or teaching—the platforms play a key role within the IMMC institute. This reality also entails a particular responsibility, as laboratory activities can have a significant impact on the environment. With this in mind, the three platforms of the IMMC institute—CREDEM, LACAMI and LEMSC—have decided to commit to the LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) program.

Discover text analysis techniques based on AI and machine learning, combining theory and practice. Learn how to master a complete processing chain with Python.

These are short, targeted, and certified training courses designed for people who wish to acquire skills that can be immediately applied. At the beginning of 2026, you have the opportunity to train in data analysis applied to the life sciences (biology, pharmacy, biotechnology, chemistry).

The Mechanics, Tooling, Machining and Glassworking platform – MOUV – has recently acquired and installed a new Doosan DNM6700L vertical machining center, which will enable it to produce high-precision, high-quality parts while increasing production speed.

The CICN is seeking postmenopausal women between the ages of 45 and 65 to participate in a new clinical study. The aim of this study is to explore the effects of a natural lipid complex on menopausal symptoms.

Multiplex immunohistofluorescence (mIHF) allows to investigate protein (co)-localisation in the tumour microenvironment, which can facilitate research on carcinogenesis. The 2IP platform proposes an open, flexible and cost-effective six-plex protocol (Flex-6 mIHF) with a demonstrated feasibility on challenging tissue containing fat such as breast cancer tissues.

For a quarter of a century, the Spring of Science has been building bridges between research and society. On the occasion of this anniversary edition, which will take place from 23 to 29 March, the spotlight is placed on the central role played by the ScienceInfuse platform.
