FROSTinno Thomas More Kempen
The FROSTinno project aimed to improve frost control in fruit growing, taking into account cost and energy efficiency, environmental impact and applicability. The project addressed the fruit grower as well as producers, distributors and installers of existing and potentially new frost control techniques and the results have provided a knowledge step for both target groups.
On the one hand, the project investigated new frost control ...
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, ...

Casual work arrangements and platform-based work: The casual work agenda as a way to enhance the labour protection of platform workers KU Leuven
The world of work is changing at a considerably high speed. Work arrangements alternative to the standard, open-ended and full-time ones now represent the new reality. These forms of employment include atypical work arrangements such as temporary and casual work, agency work and subcontracting, part-time work, and bogus and dependent self-employment. Work in the gig-economy shares numerous dimensions with all these kind of arrangements. In ...

Polymeric Engineering of Anticancer Prodrug Nanocrystals and Intracellular Drug Dynamics Investigation KU Leuven
Despite the high toxicitity and the lack of specificity of the drug administered, chemotherapy remains one of the most clinically used cancer treatments. Cancer research have dedicated a lot of attention to the development of efficient and targeted drug delivery systems (DDSs). However, the success is limited by the cytotoxicity of the complex system used and the poor knowledge on the intracellular dynamics of the drug. With this project, we ...
