Geometric mechanics Ghent University
This is a research project that is carried out within the framework of the IRSES programme “GEOMECH”, a Marie-Curie action belonging to the 7th Framework Programme of the EU. The project covers a broad research domain, centered around the following topics: (1) geometrical structures in mechanics and classical field theory, (2) non-holonomic mechanics and geometrical control theory, (3) geometry of second-order differential equations and the ...
Mobilising citizens for vital cities Ljubljana-Gent-Zagreb-Brno-Porto Ghent University
The project consists of supportive actions and objectives to achieve a more substainable, clean and energy efficient urben transport system in the cities Ljubljana, Ghent, Zagreb, Brno and Porto. Ghent University is the responsible partner for the implementation of B30 (mixture of 30% biodiesel) in the captive fleets of public organisations in Ghent region. This measure covers: preparatory work on the removal of the financial tax-barrier for ...
Mobilising the enzymatic potential of hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica to create a powerful cellular production platform for lipid-derived industrial materials Ghent University
The project will develop a versatile fermentation platform, using the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia, for the conversion of lipid feedstocks into diverse added-value products. Recent research directed at elucidating the lipid metabolism of the yeast, together with available genomic data make it possible to intercept its lipid metabolism for biotechnological.
Research and Innovation Staff Exchange Network of European Data Scientists KU Leuven
NeEDS responds to the massive scientific and technological challenges that the very rapidly growing field of Data Science has created for users and producers of data in Europe and world-wide. The challenges stem from the complexity of the data, the completely novel questions posed to data scientists, as well as the need of non-experts to visualize and interact with the knowledge extracted from data in order to aid data-driven decision-making. ...
Human Brain Project Specific Grant Agreement 1 Ghent University
Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Such an understanding can provide profound insights into our humanity, leading to fundamentally new computing technologies, and transforming the diagnosis ant treatment of brain disorders. Modern ICT brings this prospect within reach. The HBP Flagship Initiative (HBP) thus proposes a unique strategy that uses ICT to integrate neuroscience data from around ...
Human Brain Project Ghent University
The goal of the Human Brain Project, part of the FET Flagship Programma, Is to translate this vision into reality, using ICT as a catalyst for a global collaborative effort to understand the human brain and its diseases and ultimately to emulate its computational capabilities. the Human Brain Project will last ten years and will consist of a ramp-up phase. During this phase the strategic goals of the project will be to design, develop and ...
