Lordship and State Formation in the County of Flanders, 15th-18th C. (LORD) Ghent University

Frederik Buylaert, Thijs Lambrecht
Department of History

Proceeding from empirical research on the county of Flanders between c. 1470 and c. 1750, this project aims to (i) intervene in current debates on state formation in Europe and (ii) to develop heuristic tools for an extensive, but understudied set of archives that are of great importance for archivists, historians, and heritage specialists in Belgium. Today, the nature and development of pre-modern states is once more the subject of a fierce ...

Blood2collect (BLOOD2COLLECT) KU Leuven

Jeroen Lammertyn
Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors (MeBioS)

This project develops an innovative technology that allows a patient to take a blood sample at home via a finger prick in a user-friendly and painless way. The correct amount of blood is automatically measured exactly in less than five minutes, placed on a piece of paper and dried. And all this in a single cartridge the size of a bank card that the patient finally sends by regular mail to a clinical laboratory for analysis.
The ...

Strengthening and redesigning European flood risk practices. Towards appropriate and resilient flood risk govenance arrangements (STAR-FLOOD). (STAR-FLOOD) University of Antwerp

Ann Crabbé
Society and Environment
This programme aims to support authorities and other stakeholders in vulnerable urban agglomerations in Europe by designing appropriate and resilient Flood Risk Governance Arrangements (FRGAs). The programme's final goal will be to develop policy design principles for FRGAs and to derive implications for policies and law at the level of the EU, its member states, regional authorities, and public-private partnerships.

Potential of short-chain initiatives for bread produced with locally grown ancient and/or alternative cereals for a more sustainable agro-food system (Lokaal Brood) HOGENT

Frank Van Boxstael
AgroFoodNature, HOGENT
This project lists success factors for the establishment of a sustainable short chain for bread (products), with special attention to old baking cereals. Interesting for farmers, millers and bakers. In short-circuit initiatives for bread products with locally grown baking grains, the lack of well-founded advice causes varying degrees of success. Identification of the parameters of success (chain-wide) is necessary. There is also a need for ...

Anticipatory techniques, urbanism and urbanization: A historical-geographical analysis of techniques of calculation and cartography in 19th and 20th century Belgium. KU Leuven

Marcel Smets
Architecture and Design, Architecture and Society
Most research on urbanization processes and policy is based on the rural/urban distinction as well as on a traditional understanding of scale, thus focussing on the radial-concentric growth of primary centres surrounded by a hinterland, embedded in strong national structures. This approach is however not consistent with the historical and current hybrid rural-urban landscape and shifting dynamics between sociospatial entities. Complementary to ...

Digital monitoring of fruit & vegetable freshness (DigiFresh) (DIGIFRESH) KU Leuven

Bart Nicolai
Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors (MeBioS)

The DigiFresh project will help us to determine the shelf life of fresh fruit and vegetables, at each stage in the supply chain.   It is not easy to determine for how long fresh fruit and vegetables can be stored on shelves in shops or at home, as differences in storage conditions along the supply chain can affect the quality and shelf life. Therefore, the shelf life and freshness of fresh fruit and vegetables are not ...

AGrOecOlogy for weeDs (GOOD) Ghent University

Wouter Maes
Department of Plants and Crops

Weeds negatively affect the sustainability of EU farming systems with weed management relying to a large extent on herbicides. The reduction of herbicide use and risk has become major policy targets of Farm to Fork strategy, aiming to promote agroecology and the transition to sustainable and resilient farming systems. GOOD is a 4-year project adopting multidisciplinary approach, aspired to create and evaluate Agroecological Weed Management ...
