Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives. KU Leuven
DETECt -Detecting Transcultural Identity in European Popular Crime Narratives addresses the formation of European cultural identity as a continuing process of transformation fostered by the mobility of people, products and representations across the continent. Because of the extraordinary mobility of its products, popular culture plays a decisive role in circulating representations that constitute a shared cultural asset for large sectors of ...
Mapping European Social Economy: Employment, Social Dialogue and the European Pillar of Social Rights KU Leuven
In many countries, Social Economy Enterprises (SEEs) engage in some form of "social dialogue", discussing and often negotiating employment-related issues as wages, working conditions and training. However, social economy organisations only rarely count as formal social partners on their own right, despite the large number of SEEs and workers active in the sector. The MESMER+ project aims to establish an up-to-date in-depth mapping on activity ...
Femtosecond laser processing for micro- and nanopatterning of metal halide perovskite thin films for enhanced light management in solar cells KU Leuven
Photovoltaic technology stands as a beacon in the challenge to reduce CO2 emissions by maximizing the use of solar energy. Over the past
decade, perovskite materials have emerged as game-changers, offering a powerful combination of affordability and high efficiency. In
addition, their remarkable properties make them prime candidates for solar cell applications and are called to revolutionize photovoltaic
technology. However, ...
Dynamics of the solar corona in the era of data intensive observations KU Leuven
The aim of this proposal is to establish close research collaboration between several leading European and South American research teams specialising in solar physics; and gain new, paradigm-changing knowledge about dynamic processes in the solar atmosphere, through the systematic research staff and knowledge exchange and joint research efforts exploiting existing data and facilities, including innovative data analysis techniques based on the ...
Reuse of SOLar PV Panels and EV Batteries for low cost decentralized energy solutions and effective Recycling of critical raw MATErials from their EoL products KU Leuven
Europe is on the need of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) to secure its green energy transition and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. PV panels for clean energy generation, and batteries for energy storage are key components for the green energy transition but heavily depending on CRMs. However, as the PV and EV markets were developing fast in the last decade in Europe, significant amount of secondary EV batteries, and PV panels will be ...
