The Vinci Interdisciplinary Research Centre (CIR) helps staff to implement, develop, capitalise on and promote research projects in the Haute Ecole in close collaboration with the sectors, departments, laboratories and researchers themselves.
HE Vinci has a wide range of research active teaching and research staff who bring together academic expertise, cutting-edge skills in their fields and ambition for teaching.
They all share the same goal of connecting:
rigorous scientific inquiry,
developing new knowledge and technologies,
sharing knowledge and working collaboratively with partners,
initial and continuing education.
The Centre is headed by
Marie Géonet
Doctor in Psychology, lecturer in the Occupational Therapy department in HE VINCI and at UClouvain.
Catherine Deschepper
Doctor in languages and Literatures, lecturer in the Pedagogy Department in HE Vinci.
Be.Hive brings together three university colleges (HELB, Hénallux and Vinci) three French-speaking universities (Uclouvain, Université de Liège and ULB), and also users and professionals in the field with a view to developing a common vision of a front line of locally anchored care for people living in complex situations linked to financial, relational, social or mental health vulnerability.
The aim of this funded research project is to evaluate the added value of an occupational therapist’s assessment of functional capacities as an aid to the decision of the medical authority evaluating the potential return to work of the insured individual.
In collaboration with UCLouvain, the Participate Brussels project aims to improve the personalisation of care for people living with a chronic disease in the Brussels region through participatory and collaborative research involving patients, professionals and researchers. Financed by Innoviris, this project is sponsored by 9 health and social institutions with expertise in chronic disease.

The project LEA (Academic Reading and Writing) aims to create a platform organisingpositionsand exercise developmentfor academicreading and writingfor Haute Ecole students.In collaboration with Henallux.
The Research Group on the Education and Training of Teacher Trainers aims to:
- to disseminate scientific and expert knowledge on issues affecting teacher education;
- to encourage meetings, sharing and exchanges between teacher trainers, to build collaborative research on issues related to teacher training or teaching practices;
- to develop a network of collaborators
around coordinated Master of Science dissertation projects in the field of Education;
- offer intensive training on key issues in teacher education;
Collaborative interdisciplinary research on the development of writing and spelling skills in primary 2e and 3e. This research brings together the insights of specialists in pedagogy, French didactics and speech therapy. It is based on close collaboration with practitioners in the field (teachers, speech therapists).
HE Vinci is actively involved in the various working groups linked to the "Pact for excellence in teaching". The consortia have made it possible to document classroom practices and to propose new learning tools: https://www.e-classe.be/
Science and Technologies
A research project funded by Innoviris-Bridge (Brussels-Capital Region) and supported by Epsylon (Brusano).
It aims to propose a tool to map the social support network of people who are psychologically or socially vulnerable in order to give them more harmonious and effective care and support. This tool will strengthen the coordination and personalisation of support by networking the community of resources available to the person.
The project is implemented by UCLouvain (Institute for Health and Society Research), Cerdecam and HE Vinci.
The aim of the Hélangue project is to draw up a repertoire of prescribed and actual language practices and to bring to light the representations of the actors concerned (students, trainers, professionals), before designing, experimenting with, describing, analysing, evaluating and regulating a teaching-learning system aimed at supporting the students' reading and writing practices.
The Project is supported by the FRHE (Haute Ecole research Fund) of the FWB. It brings together 6 Brussels universities (HE2B, Galilée, Lucia de Brouckère, Léonard de Vinci, Francisco Ferrer, Ephec), the Pôle Bruxelles and has the support of three universities (Saint-Louis, ULB, and UCLouvain).
Projet de recherche est issu de l’association de chercheurs de trois Hautes Écoles: l’ICHEC (Coline Ruwet), la HEPN (Laura Silva Castaneda) et Vinci.
La problématique commune identifiée s’intéresse aux bouleversements socio-environnementaux, qui résultent du rapport au monde dans lequel nous vivons et plus particulièrement notre rapport à la nature. L’exploration de ces deux enjeux est réalisée à travers une approche transdisciplinaire qui associe la sociologie, la psychologie et la philosophie.
Sur base des résultats de l’analyse, un dispositif pédagogique sera élaboré et expérimenté, en lien avec les dimensions culturelles et subjectives de la transition, à destination des étudiants des Hautes Écoles.
