Projects
Soft Landing Flanders Ghent University
The project ''Soft landing Flanders - For tech start-ups, scale-ups and internationals'' stems from the East Flanders Acquisition Platform (Province of East Flanders, City of Ghent, UGent Tech Transfer, POM East Flanders, FIT, Vlaio and North Sea Port). The province of East Flanders is committed to specifically attracting international start-ups and scale-ups by mapping the ecosystem and refining a scoring system for handling incoming leads. ...
Border detection of illicit drugs and precursors by highly accurate electrosensors (BorderSens). University of Antwerp
MAterials design at the eXascale. European Centre of Excellence in materials modelling, simulations, and design Ghent University
The main goal of MaX is to allow the pre-exascale and exascale computers expected in Europe in the 2020’s to meet the demands from a large and growing base of researchers committed to materials discovery and design. This goal will be achieved by:
i) an innovative software development model, based on the concept of separation of concerns, that will enable performance of the community codes on heterogeneous hardware architectures, ...
Turning industrial waste gases (mixed CO/CO2 streams) into intermediates for polyurethane plastics for rigid foams/building insulation and coatings Ghent University
The EU process industry needs to become less dependent of fossils as source of carbon, and – at the same time - to reduce the greenhouse effect by decarbonizing the economy. Carbon4PUR will tackle the two challenges at the same time by transforming the CO2/CO containing flue gas streams of the energy-intensive industry into higher value intermediates for market-oriented consumer products. The industrially driven, multidisciplinary consortium ...
Novel iwt and maritime transport concepts (NOVIMAR). University of Antwerp
LeanShips – Low Energy And Near to zero emissions Ships Ghent University
The specific challenge for waterborne transport call MG4.1 is, “To support developments that make new and existing vessels…more efficient and less polluting”. A sound way to support developments is, to demonstrate solutions that are sufficiently close to market so that ship owners will consider these in their future investment plans. Following this reasoning LeanShips will execute 8 demonstration actions that combine technologies for ...
Data and METAdata for advanced digitalization of manuFACTURING industrial lines KU Leuven
MetaFacturing focuses on a digitized toolchain for metal part production which will lead to a more resilient production process with respect to the raw materials used (e.g. recycled materials), reduces operator effort and cost, and reduces scrap due to out-of-specification parts. The vision is to create a widely-applicable Digital Twin based process setup and control framework, fulfilling the requirements of industrial scale parts ...
Lightweight Recyclable Automotive thermoplastic CompositE structural parts for large series production Ghent University
The objective of this project is accelerating the development of acrylic based thermoplastic composite materials, a possible substitute to metal based solutions, and aims at developing this solution to meet the technical and economic needs of the mass market automotive industry. The project will define and develop a real automotive structural part, design an injection machine to allow the continuous operation of the part production process, ...
Combating organised vehicle crime by developing barriers to prevent the facilitation of online distribution of stolen vehicles and vehicle parts Ghent University
V-BAR seeks to analyse the dynamics of the criminal markets of motor vehicle theft and stolen vehicle parts in the EU. Based on logistical analyses of these markets in 6 EU Member States, V-BAR will develop a European barrier model of organised vehicle theft and stolen vehicle parts. V-BAR will have 2 major outputs:
- 6 national barrier models on organised vehicle crime combined in a study report and;
- 1 handbook on a ...
