Discover our team, our vision, our missions, the partners who support us, but also our latest news.
Our team carries out research work focused on sustainable and intelligent territories management, through two complementary axes: fundamental and applied research.
To contribute to the development of sustainable and smart territories, we share our expertise on the subject through 6 types of publications: scientific papers, research reports, practical handbooks, practical handbook's complements, barometers and models.
To stimulate the sustainable and smart transition of our territories, we provide training programmes aimed at professionals but also at tomorrow's managers.
Takes part in our webinars, workshops and conferences to inspire you, enrich your knowledge and exchange around the issue of smart cities and territories.
Among its various missions , and as an academic institute, the Smart City Institute (SCI) pays specific attention to research focused on the management of sustainable and smart territories.
The institute has a team of researchers with diverse and complementary profiles - research fellows, doctoral students, post-doctoral researchers and senior researchers - both Belgian and international - each developing their own specific expertise, under the supervision of Professor Nathalie Crutzen, Academic Director of the institute.
The Smart City Institute's expertise is centred on two complementary areas: on the one hand, it conducts fundamental research (via scientific publications or research reports), and on the other hand, more applied missions (leading to the publication of practical guides, barometers, methodological notes or the organisation of training or awareness-raising activities for local stakeholders).
