Local Collaborations

Many of our research projects are conducted in close partnership with other research groups across Flanders.

We have close and ongoing collaborations with colleagues at our two host institutes: VIB and KU Leuven. We also regularly work with Leuven-based partners: Mission Lucidity, UZ Leuven, Leuven Brain Institute, and IMEC.

Beyond Borders

In addition to our local collaborations, we actively pursue close partnerships across the globe. We have a strategic alliance with European colleagues through CURE-ND, we are part of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative network, and partner up with ION in Shanghai.
