ECOOM 2019-2023: Expertise centre O&O Monitoring

- develop and maintain an efficient system of R&D and innovation indicators that must provide the Flemish government with up-to-date and relevant statistical data on the R&D and innovation performance of Flanders.
- calculate parameters in the context of the decree financing channels
provide statistical data for R&D and innovation in the context of ...

SPEED-XM: SPectral Evaluation and Enhanced Deconvolution by eXtensive (Statistical) Modelling. Hasselt University

Dirk VALKENBORG
Centre for Statistics
A number of key-operations in pharmaceutical development, rely on a correct and timely evaluation of spectral data: e.g, liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (ssNMR) are used for compound characterization and MS in a gas-phase setting is used to monitor the headspace of a chemical reactor during the production process of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Nowadays, high amounts ...

The Quest for Global Talent: (Top) Management Teams, Nationality Diversity, and Firm Performance Hasselt University

Innovation Management, Economics and Public Policy
In an increasingly competitive global environment, firms face the challenge to attract talented and highly skilled employees. Hence, firms often look abroad to hire talent. This also applies to the most important employees of the firm: the executives in its Top Management Team (TMT). In this project, we investigate if and when internationalization of the TMT affects corporate outcomes. In particular, we focus on TMTs ability to influence ...

Unravelling Discoloration Mechanisms of Red Organic Pigments in Historical Art Works (RED-OPEN). University of Antwerp

Koen Janssens
Toxicological Centre, AXES (Antwerp X-ray Analysis, Electrochemistry and Speciation)
An important issue encountered in the historical artworks is the fading of the original colors because of their strong light sensitivity, infamously leading to the discoloration of masterworks even within an artist's lifetime. This phenomenon is clearly evidenced in many paintings of 19th century European impressionist artists, such as van Gogh, in particular when Organic Red Pigments (ORP) have been used. The identification of these ORP in ...

Population genomics of freshwater sardines in Central African lakes, and its translation into fisheries policy Hasselt University

Zoology: Biodiversity and Toxicology
Small sardine-like freshwater fishes hold the potential to feed millions of people in the Global South. Yet, the biological mechanisms underlying the adaptation and resilience of these fishes to climate change and fishing pressure are poorly understood. Genetic approaches can provide valuable insights into stock structure, demography and adaptability of fish populations, which can be used to prevent overfishing. Despite the importance of this ...

Taking Control? Administrative Capacity-building in the European Parliament KU Leuven

Steven Van Hecke
Public Governance Institute
In contrast to most national parliaments, the European Parliament has consistently strengthened its position over the years. It has adapted its internal organization in order to maximize its influence over EU decision-making. In this respect, scholars have extensively examined the political organization of the EP, but our knowledge about the administrative organization is much more limited. However, studies have shown that administrative ...

Generational conflicts: household and kin relations in the late medieval Low Countries KU Leuven

Jelle Haemers
Medieval History, Leuven
Although historians tend to agree that adolescence existed as an acknowledged life stage in the late Middle Ages already, there is no consensus on how young people experienced it and what parent-adolescent relationships entailed in these days. Whereas some scholars argue for the household’s patriarchal and authoritarian identity, others have argued that, at least in cities, adolescents enjoyed a remarkable degree of agency to make their own ...

SPICA-SKIRT: A far-infrared photometry and polarimetry simulation toolbax in preparation of the SPICA mission Ghent University

Maarten Baes
Department of Physics and astronomy

The infrared wavelength range is key to understand the origin of galaxies, stars and planets. SPICA is a proposed European-Japanese infrared space mission that has recently been selected by ESA as a candidate M5 mission for its Cosmic Vision programme. The B-BOP instrument onboard SPICA will enable sensitive imaging and polarimetric mapping, with applications from the filaments and supernova remnants in our Milky Way to external galaxies and ...

PRODEX-11 project: URINIS-A phase 2: Urine Nitrification in Space Ghent University

Ramon Ganigué
Department of Biotechnology

URINIS aims to test the feasibility and efficiency of the urine nitrification bioprocess under space conditions on ground and in space. First the experiment requirements for the flight tests were defined (URINIS ground). Next, this URINIS-A proposal describes the flight hardware optimization and biological ground experiments that need to be performed prior to the scheduled URINIS-A experiment in the ISS. The purpose of URINIS-A is to ...
