Research projects

No-code voor digital

Many software projects still face challenges, leading to failures due to budget or deadline overruns or delivering products that don't meet client expectations, despite the use of agile methodologies that involve clients closely in the project.                                    

CS4VL

As part of the Flemish Cyber Security (CS) Impulse Program, initiated in 2019, a component for supporting policies is planned (with an annual budget of approximately 3 million euros). This supporting policy includes a training component and an outreach and broad communication com

Offshore for Sure

During the Offshore for Sure (O4S) project, innovative energy solutions are being developed. Thanks to its expertise in cybersecurity, Howest contributes to the design of smart and secure maintenance systems. Additionally, Howest will serve as an educational partner.             

Cyberactive

Within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the knowledge about cybersecurity is limited, posing a significant risk to the security of business processes and data.

From the Level-Up project, a follow-up initiative has been established, aimed at professionalizing teachers of the 3rd grade in secondary education focusing on the labor market and double finality, enabling them to enhance digital competencies and data literacy of their students.

XR Factor

XR Factor aims to survey Flemish secondary schools with dual finality and/or labor market finality that have diverse XR expertise. To obtain a comprehensive overview, we also engage in conversations with external stakeholders involved in XR implementations in schools.

AID

Generative AI is currently experiencing a significant surge. AI enthusiasts see endless opportunities, while doomsayers predict the downfall of creative professions and disruption in education. This research focuses on the role of AI applications in the creative sector.          

EdHubAI

This research explores two interconnected paths related to Artificial Intelligence (AI): interpreting results to provide better/individual guidance for students and investigating which AI applications could be beneficial for education.
