Guidance mid-term evaluation (2020) and final evaluation (2020-2021) VVSG program 'Municipal International Cooperation' KU Leuven
The Municipal International Cooperation program is one of the programs implemented by the VVSG International service (Association of Flemish Cities and Municipalities). Funding comes from the Belgian government. The aim of the program is to contribute to good local governance by strengthening capacity to govern in the South and local policy coherence in Flanders. To achieve this, the VVSG is working on the localisation of the SDGs and, in 9 ...
Evaluation of the molecular determinants of primary immunodeficiency in adult patients, pathogenesis of STAT1 gain-of-function and evaluation of gene therapeutic approaches. KU Leuven
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) have provided crucial information for the elucidation of immunological pathways. Although many causal mutations in PID patients have been identified, the exact pathogenesis often remains to be elucidated and clues for an individualized therapeutic approach remain absent. In this project we focus on adult patients with a confirmed or suspected primary immunodeficiency. We explore a genetic cause in patients ...
Improving the efficiency of anaerobic digestion through ultrasonic digestate disintegration: parameter evaluation, advanced mathematical modeling and evaluation of a two-digester system. KU Leuven
Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that converts organic wastes into energy rich biogas and nutrient rich digestate. The produced biogas can be valorised on site as electricity and heat, or it can be upgraded into methane and used in existing methane grids or used as transportation fuel. The hydrolysis step is generally regarded as the rate-limiting step of anaerobic digestion. In this research, the effect digestate disintegration ...

Microchip based Impedance Sensors for in situ Evaluation of evaluation of Bacterial Biofilm Formation (See2B). KU Leuven
State of the art:
Biofilms are complex, highly variable, surface-associated communities of microorganisms, embedded in a self-produced matrix. Within biofilms bacteria are up to 1000 times more tolerant to antibiotics, disinfectants and other stresses.[1] Several factors contribute to this increased tolerance, such as protection by the biofilm matrix, slow growth and low metabolic activity of bacteria within biofilms, biofilm ...

The evaluation of the teacher evaluation system in nursery and primary education and schools for part-time arts education Ghent University
The research aims to study the practice and effects of teacher evaluation in schools for nursery and primary education and schools for part-time arts education. The study will analyze which characteristics the teacher evaluation systems have, how school characteristics influence the evaluation system , how different actors perceive the systems and what the effects of teacher evaluation are. Firstly, a survey will be administered to principals ...
