CYMEDSEC : Enhanced cybersecurity for networked medical devices through optimisation of guidelines, standards, risk management and security by design Vrije Universiteit Brussel
of regulatory, cybersecurity, technology, evaluation, and clinical EU experts to address exactly this challenge. It provides close feedback
loops between new technological paradigms and recommendation of regulatory approaches, fostering regulatory science fresh thinking.
It will deliver novel security-by-design solutions for the oversight of ‘Internet of Medical Things’ ...
Radiation risk appraisal for detrimental effects from medical exposure during management of patients with lymphoma or brain tumour Ghent University
Een versterkte risicobeoordeling van medische blootstelling is nodig vanwege een uitgebreid gebruik van ioniserende straling voor diagnose en behandeling. Het belangrijkste doel van het 4-jarige SINFONIA-project is het ontwikkelen van nieuwe methodologieën en instrumenten die dat zullen doen een alomvattende risicobeoordeling geven voor de schadelijke effecten van blootstelling aan straling op patiënten, werknemers, verzorgers en dekbedden, ...
A joined-up approach to the identification, assessment and management of emerging food safety hazards and associated risks Ghent University
In Europe, each year foodborne hazards, including bacteria, parasites, toxins (chemical hazards) and allergens, already cause some 23 million cases of illnesses and 5000 deaths1 ; the European citizen is not fully confident or trusting when it comes to food supply systems. These systemic weaknesses triggered by isolated events such as a zoonotic agent or a carcinogenic mycotoxin will be heavily compounded in the years to come by climate ...
EC One Planet Fellowship Programme (OPFP) - Agropolis Foundation Advanced Science Training Integrated Climate Risks Management Planning Tool Ghent University
The main objective of the AST is equip policy-makers in Côte d’Ivoire with novel knowledge and tools to efficiently guide the adjustments in agricultural adaptation policies and the operationalization of the national climate Measuring, Reporting and Verification (MVR) system. The findings will contribute to respond to adaptation needs formulated in three major agriculture and climate policy documents (PNIA2; PNCC; INDC). These needs include: ...
Strengthening and redesigning European flood risk practices. Towards appropriate and resilient flood risk govenance arrangements (STAR-FLOOD). University of Antwerp
THE REAL ESTATE FINANCE-URBAN CLIMATE RISK NEXUS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MIAMI, ROTTERDAM, AND SINGAPORE. KU Leuven
The connections between real estate governance and urban climate risk management represent a critical missing link between urban research, policy-making, and practice. Real estate climate risk management practices have important consequences for the welfare and prosperity of at-risk cities, yet climate risk management cultures and practices vary greatly between cities. These highly particular variables shape an increasingly globalized real ...
Aggregate and cumulative risk of pesticides: an online integrated strategy Ghent University
Current risk assessment of pesticides and MRL setting does not sufficiently account for cumulative and aggregate exposure. The central aim of the project is to improve risk assessment strategies in Europe. The project will develop a framework for cumulative and aggregate risk assessment of pesticides that is scientifically sound and accessible for all actors involved in the European risk assessment and risk management. This work consists of: ...
Search and Rescue :Emerging technologies for the Early location of Entrapped victims under Collapsed Structures and Advanced Wearables for risk assessment and First Responders Safety in SAR operations Hasselt University
Generally Accepted Reliability Principle with Uncertainty modelling and through probabilistic Risk assessment. KU Leuven
Power system reliability management means to take decisions under increasing uncertainty (for instance, related to renewable generation). It aims to maintain power system performance at a desired level, while minimizing the socio-economic costs of keeping the power system at that performance level. Seven TSOs (Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Iceland, Norway), together with eleven RTD performers, propose the four year ...
