Topological Algebra, Functional Analysis and Category Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research team investigates mathematical structures that are important in several basic areas of mathematics like geometry, representation theory, functional analysis, differential calculus or theory of approximation. The motivation also comes from outside mathematics, from computer science or physics where some of the mathematical structures that are studied are called upon as models. By application of methods from category theory the ...

Division for Roman Law and Legal History KU Leuven
Legal history provides the key to understanding the differences and similarities that underlie contemporary legal systems. Seeing laws in their historical context stimulates academics and clinical professionals to think creatively about how they can shape the law of the future.
Educational Centre for Mathematics, Education, Econometrics and Statistics (main work address Brussels) KU Leuven
The Research Centre for Mathematics, Education, Econometrics and Statistics joins staff members who teach courses on mathematics, econometrics or statistics. The research of the group is rather heterogeneous and pertains to domains of mathematics (e.g., differential geometry), education (e.g, strategy choice and strategy development, numerical and mathematical cognition, problem solving, mathematics learning), econometrics (portfolio ...
Research Institute Center for Statistics Hasselt University
Given the growth of the statistics research group and the desire to unify our teaching, research, and consulting activities, the Center for Statistics (CenStat) has been established.

Architecture and Society KU Leuven
The division ‘Architecture and Society’ stands at the crossroads between engineering and the architectural sciences on the one hand, and the humanities and social sciences on the other, and uses a broad variety of relevant methodologies from these fields in an interdisciplinary perspective. Its research ranges from theory to practice and experimentation, across all spatial scales from the building element to the territorial, and through time ...
