ITEC stands for Interdisciplinary Research team on Technology, Education & Communication. It is a research centre that brings together researchers from various existing research groups of the University of Leuven in a cooperative structure housed at KULAK, a remote campus of Leuven situated in Kortrijk. Besides their participation in ITEC, the researchers also belong to the existing research structures of the K.U.Leuven. In this way, a close cooperation with other research units, including the Department of Linguistics, the Department of Computer Science, the Centre for Instructional Psychology and Technology, the Centre for Methodology of pedagogical research, is also structurally secured. ITEC conducts applied as well as fundamental research in four disciplines: educational technology, computer science, linguistics and language methodology, and methodology and statistics.
