Development of the concept, technologies and services of Atlas Information System Next Generation for monitoring the parameters of the environmental situations in the regions and cities of Europe and Russia Ghent University

Nico Van de Weghe
Department of Geography

The main objective of the project is to develop an Information and Analytical System (IAS), which will integrate the spatial data infrastructure (gathering different kinds of spatial data available on the open data and social media platforms, news media, etc.). The retrieval of these publicly available data will be automatized. The available data will then further be analyzed taking into account the regional diversity of the data sources in ...

A discourse-theoretical analysis of international communication policies and projects and a multi-facetted analysis of the Information and Comminication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) discourse. Ghent University

Daniël Biltereyst
Department of Communication Sciences

First, a discourse-theoretical approach will be developed which will be applied to international communication polices and projects. Second, ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) projects, events and policy initiatives will be tied together in a theoretical framework uniting discourse theory and political theory.

Essential Technologies for the Einstein Telescope ET Ghent University

Department of Electromechanical, Systems and Metal Engineering, Department of Information technology, Department of Physics and astronomy, University of Antwerp, KU Leuven, Hasselt University, Imec, Vrije Universiteit Brussel

The first detections of gravitational waves since 2015 and the dawn of the multi-messenger astronomy era have demonstrated the enormous scientific potential of gravitational-wave observatories and provided a solid basis for the future of gravitational-wave (astro-)physics. The Einstein Telescope is envisioned as the pioneer of a new generation of gravitational wave detectors designed to realize this potential. An EU-funded Conceptual Design ...

Automatic and individualized bio-inspired hearing technologies. Ghent University

Sarah Verhulst
Department of Information technology

With the rise of speech and audio steered automatic systems (e.g., speech recognition, speech-to-text), also the limitations of these technologies have become apparent. Automatic speech recognition fails when the acoustic conditions are sub-optimal due to background noise, and applications are not tailored to the pathologies of individuals interfacing with them (e.g. speech or hearing-impairments). To improve the application range and ...

GOPRESUSE – Towards generic optimizations and prospective evaluations for the design of sustainable disruptive process technologies and resource management systems by connecting statistical entropy, economic and environmental aspects. University of Antwerp

Pieter Billen
Institutional Research Unit, Engineering Management, Intelligence in PRocesses, Advanced Catalysts and Solvents (iPRACS)
The continuously rising demand for resources is pushing us to exceed the planetary boundaries. At present, methods as life cycle assessment and techno-economic assessment have been proposed to develop sustainable systems and processes. However, these traditional methods do not allow us to predict the sustainability of disruptive technologies starting from a blank canvas, as these rely on very specific information that only becomes available at ...

International Summer School on Computer Supported Cooperative Work: Foundations, Methods and Technologies Hasselt University

Karin CONINX
Applied Computer Science Lab
The topic of the EUSSET Summer School is "Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW): Foundations, Methods, and Technologies". This Summer School is directed for young researches interested in the CSCW field, and aims to increase awareness of the challenges in the field, and informing the application domains of CSCW for both social studies and design of collaborative technologies. The EUSSET Summer School combines lectures and practical ...

Disconnect to connect: Towards a healthier relationship with digital technologies across work, school, and family contexts. University of Antwerp

Heidi Vandebosch
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Ghent University, Media, ICT and interpersonal relations in Organisations and Society (MIOS)
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become indispensable in our work, school, and family environments. Despite benefits, recent research points at risks following from being 'permanently connected'. Scholars and practitioners increasingly suggest 'digital disconnection' as a solution: By placing (temporary) limits on ict usage, people might reclaim control over productivity, social relationships, and well-being. While the ...

Digitising the indigenous and indigenising the digital: Using new technologies to create ethically-minded paths for circulation of traditional dances.. Ghent University

Christel Stalpaert
Department of Art, music and theatre sciences

The aim of this research project is to contribute to the decolonizing imperative to explore, understand and critique the possibilities that new digital technologies convey for the safeguarding of indigenous intangible cultural heritage (ICH) practices with a special accent on dance. Misappropriation, disrespectful uses, and lack of attribution of their artistic practices are troubles that traditional peoples keep facing, even more intensely ...
