Wederopbouw van een inclusief, op waarden gebaseerd Europa van solidariteit en vertrouwen door middel van sociale investeringen KU Leuven
In 2013, as a response to rising inequalities, poverty and distrust in the EU, the Commission launched a major endeavour to rebalance economic and social policies with the Social Investment Package (SIP). RE-InVEST aims to strengthen the philosophical, institutional and empirical underpinnings of the SIP, based on social investment in human rights and capabilities. Our consortium is embedded in the ‘Alliances to Fight Poverty’. We will ...
Rol en vooruitzichten voor arbeidsverhoudingen en sociale dialoog bij het beheer van de groene transitie van lokale economische systemen KU Leuven
This project is aimed at understanding the current and potential role of industrial relations and social dialogue in managing the greening of local economies. The COVID-19 crisis, with the equivalent of 255 millions jobs lost, exacerbated the situation of some regions, economic sectors and population groups leading to an increase in poverty and inequalities and hindering the convergence process, one the main priorities of the Union. These ...
Werken, maar toch arm KU Leuven
The project Working and Yet Poor (WorkYP) is focused on the increasing social trend of working people at risk or below the poverty line. The Consortium will devote its research to explore the reasons of such phenomenon and elaborate recommendations to the EU and MSs legislators, to enhance the goals proclaimed in the European Pillar of Social Rights. The WorkYP Project will analyse seven representative Countries (Sweden, Italy, The ...
Welzijnsstelsels en arbeidsmarktbeleid voor economische en sociale veerkracht in Europa KU Leuven
Four megatrends - technological transformations, globalisation, climate warming and demographic changes - reshape labour markets, redefine opportunities and risks, and pose new challenges for welfare states in the EU. WeLaR aims to fill knowledge gaps about these processes by pursuing two main goals: (i) provide a comprehensive and comparative diagnosis of the effects on megatrends on labour market risks and challenges for welfare states; ...
Van ongelijkheid op het gebied van huisvesting naar duurzame, inclusieve en betaalbare huisvestingsoplossingen KU Leuven
Highly ambitious in its objectives and scope and innovative in its focus, conceptualisation and methodology, EqualHouse is the first research project to integrate all dimensions of housing inequality into one transdisciplinary and transnational research design. By analysing the many aspects of housing inequality, hitherto largely studied separately, it will make key contributions to understanding of housing inequality and how it can be ...

Chiraal geïnduceerd spin-selectiviteitseffect KU Leuven
Chirality is often considered as a structural properties of molecules, but the concept also applies to elementary particles having a non-zero spin, i.e. electrons at rest are achiral but they acquire a helicity (chirality) in the direction of motion. Consequently, electrons are filtered according to their spin when crossing chiral materials. This newly uncovered chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect is surprisingly large. Spin ...
Naar operationele samenwerking bij lokaal administratief financiele onderzoeken in de strijd tegen mensenhandel KU Leuven
Local city government is confronted with indications of human trafficking:

- in hand-carwashes, night-shops, betting centers, housing foreign workers (= economic exploitation)
- in the public domain (= begging)
These ...
Zelfgekalibreerde interferometrie voor exoplaneetspectroscopie. KU Leuven
Imaging inner planetary systems with high-precision interferometry
Terrestrial worlds like the inner planets in the solar system are plentiful and diverse in the universe. Exploring the huge diversity of exoplanet composition is one of the most compelling quests of modern astronomy. The intense light from the parent star which washes out the exoplanet’s faint light and the low angular resolution of telescopes make direct exoplanet ...
