Three pathways towards carbon neutrality of existing single-family dwellings: what are the tipping points? Ghent University
With the building sector being a substantial contributor to the European energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, there is a growing awareness of the need to renovate the existing building stock. Different renovation pathways to follow are possible in order to counter this need. However, it is unclear which one is the most preferable to achieve carbon neutrality of existing single-family dwellings by 2050. Several researchers already searched ...

THE VIGILANTES OF GOMA: Urban Youth, Hybrid Security Provision & Urban Dynamics of Crime and Violence in Times of Conflict Ghent University
Located at the Congo-Rwandan border, the city of Goma finds itself at the very heart of the

More specifically, the focus lies on one of the non-state security providers in the city: the so-called selfdefence groups. In a general context of increased urban crime ...
Phytosanitary status of organisms harmful to plants and plant products Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The aim of this project is to determine the correct phytosanitary status of 13 well-defined pest insects, one harmful plant fungus, one nematode and one plant virus, and that specifically for the Belgian territory. Taken as a whole, we suspect that they can pose a threat to (parts of) fruit and vegetable growing and tree nurseries. The problem is that so far no extensive survey has been set up ...
