  2. Katholieke Universiteit Leuven • Founded in 1425 • > 33.000 students • 3 groups: • Humanities • Biomedical sciences • Science, Engineering and • Technology • Faculty of Science • Faculty of Engineering • Faculty of Bioscience Engineering

  3. Faculty of Engineering - Departments • Civil engineering • Architecture • Metallurgy and Materials Engineering (MTM) • Chemical engineering • Electrical engineering • Mechanical engineering • Computer Science

  4. The MTM philosophy • Operates as one large research group • one budget with one departmental manager • equipment is accessible to all • organisation in flexible research teams and technical work groups • departmental facilities: see www.mtm.kuleuven.be/Research/Equipment/index.html Driving force of Leuven MRC www.kuleuven.be/mrc

  5. The MTM triangle A logical relationship between processing, structure and properties, and guarantee of success in new material development Structure Properties Processing
