Nieuwe communicatieruimtes in de Arabische wereld: een multi-methodische studie naar opkomende media-organisaties in Tunesië, Egypte en Syrië Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Demonstratie van duin-dijk hybride blauw-grijze op de natuur gebaseerde oplossingen KU Leuven
DuneFront will demonstrate blue-grey coastal and marine infrastructure as a new generation of sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetic solution to ensure coastal safety under climate change. The project has the ambition to co-create hybrid Dune-Dike Nature Based Solutions (DD-hybrid NbS) that can efficiently integrate static hard infrastructure with adaptive, dynamic aeolian and vegetated sediments. Mainstreaming biodiversity into marine and ...
Zelfherstellende, multifunctionele, geavanceerde reparatietechnologieën in cementieve systemen KU Leuven
SMARTINCS will train a new generation of entrepreneurial early-stage researchers (ESR) in prevention of deterioration of (i) new concrete infrastructure by innovative, multifunctional self-healing strategies; (ii) existing concrete infrastructure by advanced repair technologies. The project brings together the expertise of research institutes pioneering in smart cementitious materials, strengthened by leading companies along the SMARTINCS ...
Gebouwen als materiële banken: Integrating Materials Passports with Reversible Building Design to Optimise Circular Industrial Value Chains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Algemeen aanvaard betrouwbaarheidsprincipe met onzekerheidmodellering en via probabilistische risicobeoordeling. KU Leuven
Power system reliability management means to take decisions under increasing uncertainty (for instance, related to renewable generation). It aims to maintain power system performance at a desired level, while minimizing the socio-economic costs of keeping the power system at that performance level. Seven TSOs (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway), together with eleven RTD performers, propose the four year ...
De kloof overbruggen voor innovaties in de weerbaarheid van rampen KU Leuven
Recent studies from the IPCC indicate that Europe is particularly prone to increased risks of river and coastal floods, droughts resulting in water restrictions and damages from extreme weather such as heat events and wildfires. Evaluations also show a huge potential to reduce these risks with novel adaptation strategies. Researchers, innovators and incubators develop innovative products and services to reduce the increased climate change ...
Nieuwe producten van PVC-vloerafval en veilige behandeling aan het einde van de levensduur van weekmakers KU Leuven
CIRCULAR FLOORING aims to enable circular use of plasticized PVC (PVC-P) from waste flooring by developing recycling processes that eliminate plasticizers including hazardous phthalic acid esters (e.g. DEHP). We will demonstrate the project results via production of highquality recycled PVC at TRL 5-6, reprocessing of eliminated plasticizers to new phthalate-free plasticizers and re-use of recycled polymers and additives in new flooring ...
Er komt een robotrevolutie in de precisielandbouw KU Leuven
ECHORD++ will achieve its goal by implementing three different instruments: the Experiments, Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI), and the Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIFs). With the Experiments and PDTI, ECHORD++ offers research consortia funding to develop robotics technology for real use-cases. The RIFs provide a unique chance to try out new business ideas and make field tests at zero risk.
These tools are ...
Optimalisatie van vermogenselektronica voor onderdelen van elektrische voertuigen van de volgende generatie KU Leuven
With the purpose of transforming road transportation in Europe to zero-emission mobility, POWERDRIVE aims at developing next generation, highly efficient, cost-effective, and compact power electronics solutions that integrate a portfolio of technologies for multi-objective optimisation of electric powertrains of battery electric vehicles. These integrated solutions can be applied to both low and high-performance vehicles, and they will be ...
