What Henallux does
Henallux (Haute École de Namur-Liège-Luxembourg), legally organised as the ASBL Haute École de Namur-Liège-Luxembourg, is a publicly funded non-profit higher education institution in Wallonia, Belgium. It operates nine campuses across the Namur, Liège, and Luxembourg provinces—covering Namur (four campuses), Arlon (two), Bastogne, Seraing, and Virton—and delivers more than thirty study programmes across five academic domains: pedagogy, health sciences, social sciences, technical/engineering sciences, and economic sciences. The portfolio spans Bachelier (Bachelor), Master, and specialisation programmes, with the École d'Ingénieurs de Pierrard-Virton holding a five-year CTI accreditation for its industrial engineering offering.
Its service portfolio is organised around four pillars: initial higher education (Bachelor's and Master's degrees), continuing education through Hénallux Academy (including a new AML/KYC compliance certificate and specialisation bachelors in Business Data Analysis and Information Management and Preservation), applied research through the FoRS research centre and externally funded consortia (notably CAPACITI at €2M+ to Henallux within a €5M Interreg Grande Région project, and the 2026–2029 Solidarity Sparks consortium), and professional services via Hénallux Consultancy. Technology infrastructure is built on a Drupal CMS, with proprietary digital platforms in development (the Solidarity Sparks crisis-mobilisation platform with geolocation and skills-profile matching) and active integrations (the Carpool mobility platform with the Mobicalendar app, code HE5002). Distribution is multi-modal: the nine-campus physical network serves as the dominant delivery channel, supplemented by the portail.henallux.be student portal, distance-learning and evening courses for continuing education, and international student mobility through Erasmus+, bilateral agreements with UQTR (Canada, since 2015), IIT Sfax (Tunisia), Cégep de Sept-Îles (Québec), and other partners.
The business model is anchored in government funding under the Wallonia-Brussels Federation regulatory framework, with regulated tuition and supplementary revenue from continuing-education programmes, externally funded applied-research grants, and consultancy engagements. Customer segments are segmented into prospective undergraduate and graduate students (primary), adult learners and working professionals (continuing education), and partner institutions and research collaborators. Henallux is privately held as an ASBL without parent-company ownership or external investor funding, governed by a board of directors and administered through the Wallonia-Brussels academic poles.
