D2.1 – The DIOSI Model for Doctoral Learning: A holistic approach University of Antwerp
In this policy paper, a holistic approach to doctoral learning in terms of research, self-development and training formats is argued for. Based on findings from the literature and expert interviews, four main arguments are made. Firstly, pressures on the doctoral process risk lowering the quality of doctorates. Therefore, the DIOSI model emphasises the learning outcomes to be acquired and synthesises these components into a comprehensible and ...
Investigating the competencies and learning relations of doctoral students in online interdisciplinary training KU Leuven

Audiological rehabilitation (AR) is an example of a healthcare field that requires interdisciplinary education. AR addresses the limitations and restrictions in communication, functional health ...
Research as a policy instrument? Critically deconstructing the outset of CLIL research in European language policy Ghent University
The role of EU law in contributing to the Union’s policy objective of combating poverty and social exclusion University of Antwerp

Perhaps most saliently, a decade ago Member States pledged to lift 20 million people out of poverty over the course of the next ten years. By 2020, having lifted ‘only’ 3.1 million people out of poverty, the results of what was once conceived as a major breakthrough for social Europe, remain underwhelming. Beyond policy strategies, the policy objective to fight poverty and ...
Change and inertia in U.S. nuclear weapons policy after the Cold War University of Antwerp
When the Cold War came to an end in 1991, there were expectations that the large nuclear weapons stockpiles and their associated policies would adjust to reflect new realities. Despite the decrease in the number of nuclear weapons since the end of the Cold War, U.S. nuclear weapons policy remained largely unchanged. When the Obama administration entered office, thousands of deployed weapons still remained on “hair trigger” alert, enough to ...
The national and transnational in South Africa’s post-apartheid film policy University of Antwerp
The submission of this PhD thesis coincides with the United Nations (UN) General Assembly’s declaration, that 2021 is declared as the ‘International Year of the Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.’ This is fitting as this study unravels how South Africa’s government film policy has shifted from being previously taken up within a traditional cultural policy framework towards being viewed as part of a creative economy for sustainable ...
Dividend policy University of Antwerp
The return from investing in stocks can be disentangled in two components: capital gains and dividends. For long-run investors, dividends form the largest part of the income. In this dissertation, we investigate dividend policy of firms listed on the Brussels Stock Exchange using data of almost two centuries (1824−2012). In the first study, we investigate how dividend policy evolves over our sample period. We show the institutional environment ...
