Choreographies of Precariousness. A Transdisciplinary Study of the Working and Living Conditions in the Contemporary Dance Scenes of Brussels and Berlin. KU Leuven
In her influential article on “Cultural Entrepreneurialism: On the changing Relationship between the Arts, Culture and Employment” (2003), Andrea Ellmeier observes that in the post-Fordist work regime, artists, along with all creative workers, have become entrepreneurial individuals who work anywhere and anytime in exchange for low wages or immaterial income. In that context, Isabell Lorey introduces the idea that precarization can be defined ...
Design of a transdisciplinary people centred intervention plan to reduce the burden of cardiometabolic diseases in local food chain actors in Sacaba, Bolivia Ghent University
The prevalence of cardiometabolic (CM) diseases in Bolivia has risen over the last decades. This burden is unevenly distributed as demonstrated in a prior project conducted by the local team. That project identified double the prevalence of CM risk factors, compared with the departmental average, in market sellers in Sacaba, a mixed peri-urban rural municipality of Cochabamba. Many of the market sellers are also family farmers. Since the ...
Identifying the political potential of housing alliances for the production of post-crisis egalitarian cities: a transatlantic and transdisciplinary perspective. KU Leuven
A European Training Network for Functional Hybrid Coatings by Molecular Layer Deposition KU Leuven
HYCOAT is the first ETN at the intersection of chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering dealing with the synthesis and applications of hybrid coatings grown by molecular layer deposition (MLD). With self-limiting binary reactions, MLD is the ideal ultra-thin film deposition technique, offering unique advantages for growing uniform, conformal hybrid films providing precise and flexible control over the film thickness and chemical ...

Sabbatical Marc Craps: A multi-actor perspective on transdisciplinarity for sustainability KU Leuven
Since my doctoral research on multi-actor collaboration in the Andes 20 years ago, my academic interest has always focused on a social process approach to complex sustainability questions. In recent years, awareness of the need for this has grown in society and in the academic world. That
translates into an interest in transdisciplinary research programs and institutes, both within KU Leuven and beyond. Because of my expertise, I am ...
Exploring HIV drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa as a complex adaptive system KU Leuven
HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) remains a threat to the efficiency of antiretroviral therapy (ART), especially in low-and-middle income countries. To avoid HIVDR it is important that people living with HIV (PLHIV) adhere to their ART, which currently has to be taken on a daily basis. In sub-Saharan Africa, the still high levels of stigmatisation surrounding HIV, the need to take the ART with a meal to assure proper absorption and avoid side ...
