Projects
Thermal & Electrical Conductive Fibre and Plastic Materials Centexbel - Scientific and Technical Centre of the Belgian Textile industry
The goal of the TECMAT project is the development of a novel type of thermal and electrical conductive compound with high conductivities and improved processability in a wide range of processing techniques, extending the margin of possible applications for conductive composites. The basic idea is to create a composite, consisting of medium viscosity conductive composite domains in which the conductive fillers are concentrated and which ...
Multi-(re)-use scenarios for existing offshore infrastructure: a conceptual, economical, legal and structural reliability study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Leveraging model and data-driven digital twins for smart asset management and lifetime optimization of offshore windfarms Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Het Sterna 2050 project KU Leuven
The STERNA 2050 project will investigate the potential contribution of superconducting system technologies to security of supply. It will compare superconducting cable technology with conventional copper-based transmission technology in terms of impact on Belgian security of supply, energy cost, raw material use, installation procedures and space requirements.

Protein composition and physicochemical properties of soy protein isolates and their role in structure formation during high moisture extrusion KU Leuven
The ongoing (partial) transition from animal- to plant-based protein in the global food system has created a demand for high quality plant protein ingredients. Among plant protein sources, soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] are abundantly used due to their high protein content and nutritional quality. The protein transition has also impelled an increased interest in plant-based meat analogues that mimic the sensory properties of meat products. ...
Digital 3D measuring techniques for an industrialised construction process for new projects and renovation BBRI (Belgian Building Research Institute)
The current knowledge in the field of measurement - via lasers, scanners, total stations and photogrammetry, whether via drones or not - has expanded greatly in recent years. Contractors and other construction partners are also launching numerous small experiments to see where they can use digital measurement techniques for all kinds problems in different construction phases. This is already generating a stream of punctual questions and ...
Belgian Hydrogen Fundamental Expertise (BE-HyFE) KU Leuven
With BE-HyFE (Belgian Hydrogen Fundamental Expertise), we want to create a Belgian home base for academic hydrogen expertise together with partners, including all knowledge institutions. In this way we want to support our Belgian industry in finding technological & social solutions for the essential challenges in the field of hydrogen. For the next 4.5 years, this project will focus on research into the production and distribution, use ...
Forecasting and management of extreme rainfall induced risks in the urban environment. KU Leuven
A. Context
Extreme local rain storms may induce severe floods and related socio-economic impacts on the urban environment (Belgian cities). While floods along rivers have been studied already extensively, quantification, forecasting, control and management of inundations along sewer systems and urban rivers have to face particular difficulties. They need fine-scale (local, short duration) rainfall estimation and nowcasting (= short-term ...
