Educational technology for collaborative learning: learning paths, Competences and didactics VIVES

Peter Dejonckheere
Educational technology
In the initial PWO study (2021-2023) a didactic model was designed and tested against the practice of digital learning for higher, secondary and primary education. The generic didactic model is based on 5 pillars with a focus on collaborative learning, supported by technology. A number of good practices were described and a tool was also developed (within pillar 3) to be able to assess the quality of social interactions in groups (see assessment ...

Digitising the indigenous and indigenising the digital: Using new technologies to create ethically minded paths for circulation of traditional dances Ghent University

Christel Stalpaert
Department of Art, music and theatre sciences

Explore and critique the possibilities that new digital technologies convey for the safeguarding of indigenous dances and intangible cultural heritage practices. Blockchain, motion-capture, and other digitisation tools are to be examined within the margins wherein they are embedded: intellectual property, interculturalism and accessibility issues. The interdisciplinary methodology aims to deliver theoretical and critical frameworks for future ...

Evolutionary paths to adaptive divergence: The role of ancient and ongoing hybridisation in rapid speciation of sailfin silverside fishes. University of Antwerp

Hannes Svardal
Evolutionary ecology group (EVECO), Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Systemic Physiological and Ecotoxicological Research (SPHERE)
Adaptive radiations are showcases of evolutionary processes, characterised by rapid diversification of one ancestral lineage into an array of closely related species. We still do not understand how speciation, normally a slow process, can occur in such fast bursts. Recent genome-wide molecular studies suggest that rapid diversification might be fueled by cross-species hybridisation. In this project, I will obtain an integrative picture of the ...

In situ pro toto. The post-war construction site as a pars pro toto of the building practice. University of Antwerp

Inge Bertels
Henry van de Velde
This research project studies the evolution of small, medium and large post-war construction sites in an international comparative perspective. By doing so, the project aims to shift away from the traditional architectural historical research and critique, which focuses on the architectural design and the built result, monofunctional studies on materials or experts in the field. By focusing on the building process, an integrated social and ...

Negotiating Landed Commons and their Governance: The Case of Slow Paths in Flanders KU Leuven

Pieter Van den Broeck
Geography and Tourism, Urban Design, Urbanism, Landscape and Planning

This PhD research reveals the detrimental social and ecological aspects of privatisation, fragmentation and encroachment of urban and rural spaces in Flanders. It sets out to explore these aspects at the intersection of spatial planning, ownership regimes and land use rights. It aims to understand how the development of community-based shared land use patterns (Commons) in Flanders help to transcend the ubiquitous ...

Economic growth and inequality. Explaining divergent growth paths in pre-industrial Europe (late Middle Ages – 19th century) Ghent University

Erik Thoen
Department of Economics, Department of History, Department of General economics

This proposal aims to give a new impulse to the stronger tendency in social and economic research to look at the past in order to deal with contemporary questions of unequal economic growth and prosperity. We will study the mechanisms behind the diverging growth paths in medieval and early modern Europe, which are at the basis of the current global economic model. Four test areas will be studied in a comparative way.

You can't choose your family but how do you choose your career path? Connecting family capital and career paths of next generation family members. A family business study. Hasselt University

Frank LAMBRECHTS
Governance
In the family business literature, the concept of family capital has been used to explain why some family businesses outperform and how family businesses strategically create and sustain value over time. Career intentions and decisions/choices of next generation family members, both inside and outside of the family business, have received limited attention in family business research. To date, the reasons why successors Special Research Fund - ...

The necessity of an international ecological financial system for protecting Congo Basin Forest Reserves through applying the polluter pays principle Ghent University

An Cliquet
Department of European, Public and International Law, Department of International public law

This research aims to strengthen the sustainable management of Congo Basin forest reserve's ecosystems by means of an international ecological financial system. The research will examine if and how environmental principles such as the polluter pays principle can be applied in an international context, in order to provide a more systematic financial support for conserving the Congo Basin forests.

On Generating Tool Paths for Laser Cutters KU Leuven

Dirk Cattrysse
Centre for Industrial Management / Traffic & Infrastructure

Laser cutting is one of the major cutting processes used to manufacture sheet metal products. A typical production process consists of designing parts, nesting the parts on metal sheets, cutting the parts from the sheets and if there are three dimensional parts, bending the parts. Integrated production scheduling methods to minimize the total cost incurred by the entire production process exist. One of the results is the assignment of parts ...

Layout of development scenarios and implementation paths for a new mobility plan Flanders. Hasselt University

Geert WETS
Transportation Behaviour, Traffic Safety, Business Informatics, Logistics, Transportation Research Institute, Data-analysis and Modelling
Like most Western countries and regions, Flanders knew during the past decades a general economic prosperity. There seems to be no measure to the increasing internationalization and globalization process, one of the main driving forces behind the explosive growth in both passenger and tonne-kilometers. To maintain a sustainable balance between economic development and the rapid expansion of passenger and freight traffic, the policy-makers must ...
