Tenants Association

Founded in 2005, VZW Ardoyen promotes cooperation between public and private institutions and companies.

As a first initiative, the companies at the Science Park collaborate on a common waste water management in the context of a sustainable ecological and economic policy for the entire Park.

The joining of forces was reflected in initiatives of water consumption on a larger scale and in this way to reduce the amount of wastewater.

Driven by Ghent University, but under the umbrella of VZW Ardoyen, various workgroups were launched. These workgroups consist of representatives of VZW Ardoyen members.
The following projects are currently in progress:

  • Sustainable water management
  • Mobility. Some initiatives are already being realized:
    • Cambio
    • Mobile bicycle repair service
    • Deployment of the Shuttle Fund for companies (“Het Pendelfonds voor bedrijven”), to stimulate commuting initiatives
    • Park Event on the theme of mobility
    • Introduction of one-way traffic
    • Bicycle street initiative and other traffic speed reduction measures
    • New signposting
  • Website
To be realized soon:

  • Parking and accessibility to the Science Park

The park management is supported by Flanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
