EGOVPOLINET: Building a global multidisciplinary digital governance and policy modelling research and practice community. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Virtual building acoustics: a robust and efficient analysis and optimization framework for noise transmission reduction KU Leuven
Achieving a sufficient sound insulation of buildings is a complex problem since multiple transmission paths are important, uncertainties can have a large effect, and acoustic performance requirements often conflict with structural and thermal requirements. Furthermore, accurate vibro-acoustic modelling across the entire building acoustics frequency range presently requires a huge computational effort. As a result, the acoustic development of ...
Buildings as Material Banks: Integrating Materials Passports with Reversible Building Design to Optimise Circular Industrial Value Chains Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sustainable Building Lime Applications via Circular Economy and Biomimetic Approaches Ghent University
Lime is one of the earliest industrial commodities known to man and it continues to be one of the essential building blocks of modern Society. The global lime market is anticipated to approach the value of 44 Billion Euros by the end of 2026 and resulting in various growth opportunities for key players. The SUBLime network aims to develop the most advanced technology in lime-based materials modelling and characterization for industrial use ...
Strengthening the Capabilities and Training Curricula for Conflict Prevention and Peace Building Personnel with ICT-based Collaboration and Knowledge Approaches KU Leuven
Political conflicts have long since gone beyond national borders and peace building has become central to the self-conception of the European Union as a foreign policy actor. Current challenges in Conflict Prevention and Peace Building (CPPB) trainings are that many programmes on offer are both too general/narrow, they are not applicable enough, weak on concrete skills enlargement and moreover training alone is not sufficient. Overcoming ...
Building an ecosystem for better monitoring and communicating of medication safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding: validated and regulatory endorsed workflows for fast, optimised evidence generation KU Leuven
ConcePTION partners have united around a shared vision that we have a societal obligation to radically and rapidly reduce uncertainty about the safety of medication use in pregnancy and lactation.
What do we deliver? ConcePTION aims to create a paradigm shift in how we study medication safety in pregnancy. We will establish (1) a successful, sustainable open-science based EU non-proprietary ecosystem of public and private ...
Digital environment for management of permits and compliance in building and construction Ghent University
Managing the process of permits needs to be streamlined. The EU-funded DigiChecks project will build a solution to provide flexibility, ease-of-use and efficiency to the permit validation and approval system in construction project environments. The project will implement the following steps: the first is the creation of a standardised permit ontology comprising a shared language for permits. Next is a digitising permit process tool based on ...
Building Based on BioBased Ghent University
Not only what we can do, but especially what we want to do is what counts to tackle global and NSR challenges.
The transition to a circular economy is an important means of working on climate challenge, with the prospect of newbusiness models. Therefore, the use of biobased materials in construction (built environment, interior construction and civilengineering) offers a unique opportunity.
A number of frontrunners are aware ...
