TransBio:Biogas Versie 2.0:Â Technological transition of the Flemish biogas sector towards innovative business models with increased profitability and reduced support dependence Biogas-E - Anaerobic digestion platform for Flanders npo
The biogas sector in Flanders counts approx. 40 large scale installations, and 50 to 75 small scale (farm sized) installations. Biogas, as a renewable energy technology, produced 602 GWh of renewable electricity and 850 GWh of renewable heat in 2013. Yearly, 1.3 million tons of organic waste is converted to biogas, alongside hundreds of thousands of tons of manure. The biogas technology is therefore responsible for the valorisation of a large ...
Doing restorative justice in intercultural contexts: An alternative discourse of justice and security KU Leuven
The dissertation explores critically the potential and the limits of the restorative justice discourse in addressing conflicts in intercultural contexts in Europe, as an alternative discourse on both justice and security. The exploration revolves around two main questions: 1. How can we conceptualise the application of restorative justice at a range of community-based and social conflicts?; 2. How can ...

Drought response in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. University of Antwerp
ADOPSYS Vrije Universiteit Brussel
There is a severe shortage in the European photonics industry of graduates and PhDs with broad expertise in modelling and design of industrially relevant optical systems and components. This shortage is aggravated because most applied design methodologies are strongly based on previous experience of the designer. In general, these methods also have a limited efficiency because they heavily ...
Model-based active thermography for contactless quality assessment in the agro-food industry KU Leuven
In the agro-food industry, there is an increasing demand for non-destructive quality inspection tools that allow to inspect every individual product. This is the result of an increased focus on food safety and quality over the past decades. Several fast, non-destructive and contactless technologies have been studied for food quality inspection, many of them based on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the food product. ...
