Meet our service unit

The Institute for Materials Research (imo-imomec), based at the Hasselt University campus in Diepenbeek, has built a vast expertise in the field of materials science. Since its foundation in 1990, the institute has placed a particular focus on cooperation with (local) businesses to improve their products and activities. Anno 2022, imo-imomec can rely on more than 5000 m² of state-of-the-art lab infrastructure, divided over four different locations.

Our team is strongly multidisciplinary: chemists (ACC), physicists (AMS), and engineers (EMAP & MPR&S) are working together to support companies with their (R&D) challenges. Therefore, our experts can assist you in a wide range of research domains: feasibility study, product development, production optimization, quality control, failure analysis, and packaging & transportation.
