The research group has acquired a solid, world-wide recognized reputation in the field of management informatics, as illustrated by the various top publications in high-quality journals, research projects, presentations at well-respected conferences, the frequent organization of scientific events, and the regular editorial activities undertaken. In the area of business informatics, the group has always been the leading research team in Flanders and Belgium. The research team maintains close contacts with other research centers in the faculty, K.U.Leuven and other universities. LIRIS cooperates with leading international academic research centers in business information systems.
The LIRIS group also has extensive links with a network of national and international industry partners, serving either as research sponsors or facilitators for data provisioning and research validation. This cross fertilization between fundamental research and industry practice allows to conduct research according to the domain’s motto: rigor and relevance.
