Artificial Intelligence Data Analysis KU Leuven
AIDA brings a transformational innovation to the analysis of heliophysics data in four steps.
First, AIDA will develop a new open source software called AIDApp written in Python (a free language) and capable of
collecting, combining and correlating data from different space missions. AIDApp wants to replace mission-specific tools
written for costly languages (such as IDL) that exclude many scientists, students and amateur space ...
The Geography of Corporate Financialization KU Leuven
The financialization of the economy is widely discussed in the literature. There is evidence of a shift towards finance at the level of the economy at large as well as regarding the financialization of households, but the literature on the financialization of traditionally non-financial firms is less conclusive. The problem is that some understandings—and statistics—of manufacturing firms versus financial firms are becoming increasingly ...
Ph.D. researcher/tutor at the University of Leuven, Division of Geography KU Leuven
Tourism has been proposed as a local development tool for territories that have suffered from conflict and that want to rebuild their livelihoods, shattered by a violent past. Certainly, post-conflict areas offer a unique setting to analyse the opportunities tourism has to offer for development and conflict transformation initiatives, but also to identify and acknowledge the existing limitations in such fragile environments. Tourism, as ...

Ground-Rent, Financialization of Real-Estate and the Production of Space: The Choreography of Urban-Port Configurations around the Manchester Ship Canal and the Port of Antwerp KU Leuven
The mobilisation of land as a financial asset has become a defining feature of sociospatial restructuring in post-industrial European cities. Returning to the neglected literature on land rent, I argue that fundamental contradictions arise from treating land as capital which shape contemporary urban processes in important ways. I explore how these contradictions unfold by analysing the active political role of rentiers in urban restructuring ...
De rol van Netwerkorganisatie in de ontwikkeling van regionaal toerisme. KU Leuven
The tourism sector is known for its fierce competition. Destinations compete to attract visitors by various means, but there are indications that within destinations a strong competition between entrepreneurs is present as well. The literature suggests that this competition for the attention, time and spending of the tourists could harm the tourist experience, and thus the quality of the destination. Cooperation within a destination, is ...
