CLICK’, is the Walloon LivingLab for Creative Industries, created and hoste by UMONS. This is the place where projects become.

Largely inspired by Design Thinking principles, the working methodology of CLICK’ is based on a succession of phases, including exploration, experimentation and evaluation (in laboratories and/or in the field), all of which have been cocreated and rely on user feedback (user experience).
