Nature-based coastal defense systems on waves-currents-seagrass interaction: interdisciplinary research on coastal and ecology engineering and marine biology Ghent University
Nature-based solutions that provide sustainable coastal protection using low environmental impact solutions are significant in the adaptation process towards global climate change. One opportunity of sustainable protection is offered by aquatic vegetation(seagrass, salt marshes, and mangroves) in the coastal zone, which is of high ecological value and provides natural coastal protection through attenuating waves, baffling currents and ...

Structural biology of Interleukin-34, a novel cytokine ligand for colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) Ghent University
We propose an interdisciplinary research project at the frontline of molecular structural biology to dissect the interaction of a novel cytokine, interleukin 34, with its hematopoietic RTKIII receptor, Colony Stimulating Factor1 Receptor. The proposed research project aims to elucidate the structural, kinetic and thermodynamic determinants that dictate this unusual cytokinereceptor specificity, using both experimental and computational ...
Design for Dialogue: Interpolating civic engagement, ecology and urban design in Brussels KU Leuven
Brussels, as many cities world-wide, faces a double challenge. On the one hand, the demand for housing and office space results in a continuous increase in built-up area. On the other hand, the Brussels Capital Region needs more open space for recreation and environmental needs, such as water management and biodiversity. This duality recently came to the fore in the debate about the so-called Friche Josaphat, a wasteland on a former ...
