FORMULA ELECTRIC BELGIUM

Formula Electric Belgium unites a group of motivated engineering students from different KU Leuven and Thomas More campuses. The Formula project offers team members a unique experience in international motorsport.

Every year, Formula Electric Belgium develops and builds a high-performance, green, electric, one-man racing car. During the summer, the team travels through Europe with the green bolide to participate in different matches of the Formula Student competition.

The team actively promotes electric driving and shares acquired knowledge and experience with other students by developing informative educational modules.

NeuroTech Leuven

Using brainwaves, 3D-printing, advanced electronics, signal analysis, machine learning and so much more, the student team of NeuroTech Leuven fuses neurology, technology and psychology into one. As part of the NeuroTechX community, they participate in a global competition against 30+ other student teams, each competing to present the best neurotech project to a panel of judges.

In addition to this competitive element, NeuroTech Leuven organizes and attends events, where they showcase their software and hardware in an interactive way. They also connect students, experts and companies to further develop everyone's professional network.

AETHER

The Aether team brings together young engineers who are passionate about space technology. We are designing a CubeSat: a nanosatellite consisting of 10x10x10 cm units. In the past decade, the CubeSat standard has enabled countless new innovations in the space industry.

We are designing our satellite to survive atmospheric re-entry. This allows us to retrieve the scientific experiments on board: bringing sample recovery to the small and accessible CubeSat platform!

HIGH TECH LAB

The High Tech Lab (HTL) is part of maakleerplek, a pilot project of startups that experiment with new business models focused on community building and the circular economy. The HTL is responsible for education on topics such as sustainability and circular economy through technology.

EMERGENT

Emergent is the pioneering student organization that highlights the technical, ethical and commercial aspects of data science and artificial intelligence problems. We do this in close collaboration with industry and academia to bring students, researchers and professionals closer together. We focus on Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and the Community that supports and thrives on it.
