Ecosystem Services (SUMES): Towards a quantitative holistic sustainability impact assessment tool Ghent University
The SUMES project aims to develop a comprehensive model to assess the impact of human-induced changes on the marine ecosystem and beyond. The model investigates the structure (e.g. biodiversity) and function (e.g. food chains, biogeochemistry) of the marine ecosystem, its capacity to provide goods and services (e.g. sequestration of carbon) and the effect of activities on the aforementioned aspects. The model integrates Ecosystem Services, ...
Sustainability Assessment of Climate Change Adaptation (SACCA). University of Antwerp
How to prevent over-optimism on circular strategies? Enriching prospective sustainability assessment through a dynamic value chain equilibrium model to limit undesired side effects of technological progress University of Antwerp
An integrated sustainability assessment of primary energy carriers (ISA-PEC) Ghent University
The future of the energy sector in Europe is challenging for policy makers: ambitious renewable energy goals combined with new possibilities of waste-to-energy and power-to-gas applications.
Decisions should be based on a comprehensive assessment including environmental, economic, technical and societal concerns. The aim of this project is therefore to develop and apply an integrated sustainability assessment framework for energy ...
A stakeholder analysis and sustainability assessment of the alternative protein supply chain in Europe Ghent University
Assessment of the Carbonation, CO2 Sequestration and Leaching Behavior of Potential ‘Green’ Concrete with Supplementary Cementitious Materials to Quantify its Actual Durability and Sustainability Ghent University
Partial cement replacement by supplementary cementitious materials in concrete could reduce CO2 emissions. Durability should remain though. Because accelerated tests usually indicate higher susceptibility to carbonation, all related changes in microstructure and transport properties will be studied. Moreover, a setup for carbonation under mechanical loads will be developed. CO2 sequestration and leaching will be addressed as well for LCA ...
Sustainability and Economical Assessment of Future Steelmaking Routes KU Leuven
Unlocking Biosimilar Benefits: An Exploration of Barriers to Biosimilar Adoption, Value Assessment and Market Sustainability KU Leuven
This doctoral thesis, forms part of the research funded by the 'Market Analysis of Biologics and Biosimilars following Loss of Exclusivity (MABEL) Fund' and it will examine multiple health economic aspects of off-patent medicines in Europe. This body of research will provide empirical evidence to support market access and uptake, incentives and policies affecting off-patent medicines for an efficient allocation of health care resources. ...
