Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: Universiteit Hasselt follows all relevant EU initiatives and policies concerning research, innovation and education In the past we have had engaged in activities in FP7, where we had been active as partners of approved projects as well as coordinating approved projects. Currently we also participate in activities in H2020. We have 42 approved H2020 projects (ERC grants, Marie Curie ITN and IF, Societal challenges and Industrial leadership) and 27 approved Horizon Europe projects. We also take part of European tenders and programmes (f.e. Justice programme, ERDF,...).
Communication Activities: In 2011, the European Commission awarded Universiteit Hasselt, as the First Flemish university, with the ‘HR excellence in research’ label. The university continues to focus on the recruitment-, training- and development policy and special attention is given to gender issues. The HR label is a recognition of the HR policy of the university and of the efforts that Universiteit Hasselt takes in optimizing the opportunities for its researchers.
