A Roadmap for Industrial Symbiosis Standardisation for Efficient Resource Sharing Ghent University
Industrial symbiosis (IS) is a key solution to address the challenges of conserving natural resources, yet the lack of standards and the difficulty in IS standardisation due to its cross-sectoral nature and additional bottlenecks impede the uptake of IS solutions. RISERS aims to address such bottlenecks through the development of a roadmap towards IS standardisation, promoting resource sharing and the integration of new R&I results to ...
Trustworthy Efficient AI for Cloud-Edge Computing KU Leuven
MANOLO will deliver a complete stack of trustworthy algorithms and tools to help AI systems reach better efficiency and seamless optimization in their operations, resources and data required to train, deploy and run high-quality and lighter AI models in both centralised and cloud-edge distributed environments. It will push the state of the art in the development of a collection of complementary algorithms for training, understanding, ...
BATSS : SAFE EFFICIENT BATTERY SYSTEM BASED ON ADVANCED CELL TECHNOLOGY Vrije Universiteit Brussel
a way to unlock the market uptake of next-generation battery system to a broad range of transport applications. The project will develop
a specific Safe-by-Design (SbD) approach to guide the whole R&D process, aiming at identifying and mitigating (even eliminating)
safety risks across the ...
EFFEREST : EFFicient user-centric EneRgy managEment SysTems for optimized EVs Vrije Universiteit Brussel
enhanced user acceptance with efficient vehicle operation. Significant improvements will be gained by leveraging knowledge from real
fleet behaviour. Users will benefit from personalised data and the always-available option to select the vehicle performance type; in this
way, users will ...
SUnlight-driven Next Generation Artificial photosynthesis bio-hybrid TEchnology platform for highly efficient carbon neutral production of solar fuels Ghent University
Artificial photosynthesis (AP) is a promising approach for solar fuel production, but current systems are inefficient, expensive and
unsuitable for industrial deployment. The interdisciplinary SUNGATE consortium of 12 partners from six EU countries and Turkey will
overcome these limitations by combining the principles of AP with photoelectrocatalysis and flow microreactor technology, leading
to the first modular full-cell ...
A network of excellence for distributed, trustworthy, efficient and scalable AI at the Edge KU Leuven
The proposal focuses on the Next Generation AI topic of the call HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-02-02. The vision of dAIEDGE Network of Excellence (NoE) is to strengthen and support the development of the dynamic European edge and distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystem as an essential ingredient in the growth and competitiveness of European industrial sectors. The dAIEDGE Network aims to reinforce the research and innovation value chains ...
A highly efficient CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing method for difficult to transform arthropods Ghent University
During the ERC consolidator grant POLYADAPT, an efficient gene editing system was discovered which allows to genetically transform the spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, a main crop pest. This species belongs to the chelicerates, the second largest group of arthropods including mites, ticks and spiders, that are notoriously difficult to transform. Our invention not only accomplished for the first time gene knock-out in mites, but also allows ...
Energy efficient, greenhouse horticulture, innovations and climate neutral (or low carbon) Ghent University
The greenhouse horticulture sector in the border region is among the best in the world. However, the current energy crisis has created a great need in greenhouse horticulture to reduce energy consumption. In addition, the European Union has the ambitious goal of being climate neutral by 2050.
In order to achieve this climate target, research is therefore still needed so that new innovations can be implemented in practice. ...
