Interface Demography Vrije Universiteit Brussel
ID is the multidisciplinary unit for social demography and population studies at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). The main objective of ID is to address socio-demographic challenges related to social sustainability from a multidimensional perspective revolving around the notion of equity as a ‘cross-cutting theme’. The research program gravitates around six mutually interconnected research lines: (1) sustainable work and employment; (2) ...
Sustainable Metals Processing and Recycling KU Leuven

• Thermodynamics for material and process development
• Extraction and refining of metals
• Interaction of liquid slag and metals with refractory materials
• Thermodynamic and kinetic modeling of processes and interface reactions
• Material characterization
Sustainable Chemistry for Metals and Molecules KU Leuven
Coordination chemistry aims to study the effect of ligand geometry and nature on the central metal ions. These are transition metals (3d, 4d or 5d), lanthanides (4f) and actinides (5f). The symmetry of coordination mainly determines the electronic structure of the metal ions and influences in this way the spectroscopic, electrochemical, thermodynamic and magnetic properties of the complexes. A lot of applications of coordination compounds are ...
Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology Section KU Leuven
The aim of the Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) division is to foster and conduct research on soft matter and the rheology of complex fluids on a fundamental level as well as their application to technical processes. Such complex fluids span a wide range of materials, including polymer solutions, melts and blends, emulsions, colloidal dispersions, surfactant solutions, etc.
A characteristic feature of such complex fluids and ...
