Role of PElagic caAcification and export of CarbonatE production in climate change Ghent University
The overall objective of PEACE is to assess the role of pelagic calcification and export of CaCO3 production in climate regulation.
Specific objectives are:
- To study of the net ecosystem dynamics during coccolithophorid blooms;
- To unravel the link between the microbial community, grazing, TEP dynamics, carbon export and DMS cycling during coccolithophorid blooms;
- To assess the effects of ocean acidification on ...
International thematic network INTEC (ectopic calcifiaction) Ghent University
INTEC uses an interdisciplinary thematic approach to connect the relevant knowledge at Ghent University ― fundamental and translational research, clinical and pharmaceutical experts with an established high-impact track record in studying aspects of EC ― with an international network of partners who were carefully chosen to represent a diverse base of expertise, to exploit complementarities and to avoid competition. They are internationally ...
EU standards for judicial appointments – A clarification, revision and further development of EU legal requirements KU Leuven
Every judiciary depends on persons adjudicating legal disputes. Judicial appointment procedures are therefore a key feature in the organization of every state. Whilst designing such procedures was originally considered as inherently domestic area, states nowadays face an increasingly internationalized concept of judicial independence setting more and more standards for national judiciaries. In Europe, with the “constitutional backsliding” of ...

Faced with this burden, stakeholders are increasingly looking for ways to move from dominant and oppressive narratives about the past towards spaces for contestation and competing narratives. The establishment of Historical Clarification Commissions, as well as the invocation of transitional justice rhetoric have taken flight in consolidated ...
