The technology platform serving research & learning
OpenHub, as the technology platform of UCLouvain, collaborates with research teams and students to develop concrete solutions, provide advanced infrastructures, and offer an educational framework focused on innovation.
For students
For students
StudentLabs
An intensive internship where students (Belgian and international) develop solutions for real companies.
Guided by our teams, they work in multidisciplinary groups, discover manufacturing, design thinking, and emerging technologies, while addressing concrete issues.
Students leave with:
- real professional experience,
- technical and methodological skills,
- direct application of their studies.
Innovation classes
We also teach a course at UCLouvain dedicated to the innovation process.
Students learn to apply a structured method (design thinking, rapid prototyping, user testing) on real cases provided each year by our partners.
Supervision of theses
We supervise theses for students looking for a field of experimentation, a topic related to technology, innovation, or prototyping, or an interdisciplinary work framework.
Access to infrastructure
Students can access our equipment through the UCLouvain internal platform to create, prototype, or support their academic projects.

Partnership for your scientific projects
We support research teams that wish to design demonstrators, instruments, or experimental devices.
When certain skills are lacking internally (development, electronics, mechanical manufacturing, IoT, XR, prototyping, ...), we can take charge of the design, realization, and integration of these technical components.
Team reinforcement for collaborative projects
Beyond occasional interventions, we also participate in research projects led by UCLouvain departments as a sustainable technology partner.
We then integrate into the project team to contribute to:
- technical definition,
- implementation of the experimental system,
- user validation,
- documentation or dissemination of the demonstrator
