The Network

With 18 years of experience in the fields of project development and technology transfer, the LiEU Network fosters an ecosystem of trust between companies and the world of university research.

Who are we?

Created in 2003, the LiEU Network, supported by the Walloon Region, brings together the Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTO) of the 6 French-speaking universities.

These promote and facilitate relations between the scientific community, businesses, organizations and public authorities.

The experts of the KTO members of the LiEU Network are located in universities, as close as possible to scientific expertise in order to:

  • foster a close link with research units
  • facilitate the setting up of collaborative research projects and the identification of skills or equipment
  • detecting research results that can be exploited on the market and thus participate in regional development.
The LiEU Network is part of the PATLIB network.

PATLIB is the name given to the European network of regional intellectual property information centers which are under the supervision of the national patent offices of each member state. There are currently nearly 300 such regional centers scattered across Europe.

They are intended to provide practical local assistance and sound advice on any problem relating to intellectual property and patents.
