Inclusive Governance Models and ICT Tools for Integrated Public Service Co-Creation and Provision KU Leuven

Trui Steen
Public Governance Institute

Today public authorities need to provide better services with fewer resources. Citizens require accessible, user-friendly, personalised, and integrated public services that match their needs and circumstances. At the same time, trust in the public sector deteriorates. We argue the solution rests in enhancing existing relevant EU work (on policies, models, frameworks, roadmaps etc) by adopting best research and practice (e.g. in public service ...

The suggested study argues that this reflects a process of cabinetisation defined as the process by which that part of the internal to government policy advisory system, which comprises ministerial offices, evolves ...

The more it changes, the more it stays the same: can phenotypic plasticity of the host counter parasite diversification? Hasselt University

Maarten VANHOVE
Zoology: Biodiversity and Toxicology, Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences
Species diversity is unevenly spread: some lineages are highly species-rich, others are not. Though speciation research focuses on the former, understanding why lineages fail to diverge is crucial too. Parasites typically speciate faster than hosts, especially large and long-lived hosts, and become more species-rich. The research team found that all African lates perches, some of the largest freshwater fishes, host only a single monogenean ...
