HELMo Gramme

What HELMo Gramme does

HELMo Gramme is one of the founding institutes of Haute École Libre Mosane (HELMo), a Belgian non-profit association (ASBL/vzw) providing publicly funded higher education in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation. The institution delivers approximately 54 bachelor and master degree programs across five departments — Pedagogical, Paramedical, Social, Economic/Juridical, and IT/Technical — and roughly 150 continuing education programs through its Formation Continue division. HELMo operates 10 campus locations across the Province of Liège with a staff of approximately 900, and is part of the Catholic Education network (SEGEC) and the Pôle académique Liège Luxembourg academic consortium.

The institution runs a multi-platform digital learning ecosystem comprising HELMo Learn (a Moodle-based learning management system with department-specific spaces), HELMotion (a Ubicast-powered video platform for recorded lectures), Wooclap (interactive polling and engagement), and Mon Espace (a student/staff intranet). Under the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), HELMo is deploying the HELMo Hub initiative — co-modal rooms, VR infrastructure, cybersecurity labs, 3D printers, and podcast studios — alongside a centralized IT Helpdesk and an E-learning Service that supports technopedagogical training and AI awareness programs for faculty.

HELMo's revenue model rests on two streams: (1) public higher-education operating subsidies from the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, and (2) regulated student tuition (minerval). Distribution is via direct-to-student recruitment through open days, online registration, pre-rentrée activities, and an international mobility program coordinated through the Mobility Online platform with partner institutions abroad. Enterprise engagement runs through student projects, internships, and graduate recruitment channels. The institution publishes a strategic plan and quality framework and is active in South-North cooperation and European higher-education associations such as EURASHE.
