Nanofibrous membranes for today’s environmental research questions. Ghent University
Membrane technology can offer an answer for today’s research challenges to solve environmental problems. These membranes are in need of an improved resistance to harsh environments. This will further broaden applications such as water recycling but will also open up very novel applications in a process intensification of CO2 conversion units. Within this project nanofibers are developed for these applications.

Creating safe and attractive environments to walk and cycle: participatory research using virtual environments Ghent University
This project focuses on the optimization of the safety and attractiveness of streets, and aims to promote walking and cycling among neighbourhood residents. To achieve this aim, this project will use a participatory research design. Neighbourhood residents will provide information about which specific environmental characteristics contribute to the safety and attractiveness of streets. This will be done while walking (on a treadmill) or ...
