HAUTE ECOLE EN HAINAUT - HEH.BE

​The Haute Ecole en Hainaut (HEH) is a Belgian French-speaking university college located in the province of Hainaut, 50 kilometres south of Brussels, the capital of Europe. HEH is organized by Wallonie-Bruxelles-Enseignement (WBE). 

Created in 1996 as a result of the reunification of all higher education institutions located in the province of Hainaut and all belonging to WBE, it gathers four former independent institutions in the fields of education, social sciences, economics (law, tourism and administration) and technical engineering (with orientations in informatics, construction, land surveyors and life data technology). 

HEH has now 3,600 students and 390 staff members (teaching, administrative and research). It grants 22 bachelor’s degrees and 6 Master’s degrees and has been awarded multiple research grants. 

Through its active policy of encouraging international partnerships, HEH enhances learning opportunities by stimulating mobility for students and teachers in all programmes. Moreover, bioinformatics and data sciences are in full evolution, promoting opportunities, developing employment as well as sustaining the emergence of a biotechnology ecosystem in Belgium. HEH is thus targeting to develop collaboration in Norway in various fields in research, more specifically in modern technical engineering and in life data sciences. In this regard, the recent advances in the field of biomedical and pharmaceutics development in Belgium highlight HEH expertise in bioinformatics and willingness to collaborate internationally.
