Infrastructure project: InfraREL-PE Infrastructure for Power Electronics Reliability Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Flanders Make, Faculty of Engineering, Electromobility research centre, Electrical Engineering and Power Electronics

Motion Products OEMs and drivetrain developers have a need for determining the reliability of drivetrain components and subsystems, both for developing new drivetrains and for improving existing ones.
InfraREL-PE addresses this infrastructure gap, targeting drivetrain applications up to 250kW.

Securing Critical Energy Infrastructures SUCCESS - Securing Critical Energy Infrastructures (SUCCESS) Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Paul De Hert

Metajuridica, Fundamental rights centre

Living in a safe and secure society is a fundamental human need. The security of critical infrastructures must be maintained so that supplies of power, water or other resources are secured. Modern critical infrastructures are increasingly complex and they are turning into Cyber-Physical Infrastructures because ICT is growing in importance in infrastructure management.

The SUCCESS project will develop an overarching approach to threat ...

Managing Large Scale ICT Infrastructure. KU Leuven

Wouter Joosen

Informatics Section

Our society relies on software applications both in our private and professional lives. Many of these software applications are interconnected to create large-scale distributed systems. Unfortunately software applications fail frequently and the cost of the resulting downtime is high. Configuration errors cause many of these failures. Moreover, the servicesof a distributed system interact with and depend on many other servicesof the distributed ...

Financing instruments for cultural and youth infrastructure with supralocal importance. University of Antwerp

Annick Schramme

Management

Since 1998, the Cultural Infrastructure Fund (FoCI) has managed the Flemish Community's own cultural and youth accommodations and also grants investment subsidies for large infrastructure works of high cultural importance, but also for sectoral cultural and youth infrastructure of supralocal importance. To support the cultural and youth infrastructure of supralocal importance, the same fund also provides loans for photovoltaic installations to ...

Automated inspection of infrastructure using drones (AutoDrone) University of Antwerp

Steve Vanlanduit

Energy and Materials in Infrastructure and Buildings (EMIB), Industrial Vision Lab (InViLab)

In this project we will use drones to detect and monitor damage in infrastructure: wind turbines, bridges, buildings, solar panels, pavements, etc. Firstly, an overview of available path planning tools will be given. Secondly, we will develop machine learning tools to automatically detect damage (cracks, potholes, corrosion). The third aim of the project is the development of a methodology to allow a systematic comparison of repeated drone based ...

Scientific Large-scale Infrastructure for Computing/Communication Experimental Studies - Preparatory Phase Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre

Brecht Vermeulen

Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre

The digital infrastructures research community continues to face numerous new challenges towards the design of the Next Generation Internet. This is an extremely complex ecosystem encompassing communication, networking, data-management and data-intelligence issues, supported by established and emerging technologies such as IoT, 5/6G, cloud-to-edge computing. Coupled with the enormous amount of data generated and exchanged over the network, this ...

Inclusive Growth Research Infrastructure Diffusion KU Leuven

Guy Van Gyes

Research Group Work, Organisation and Social Dialogue, Centre for Sociological Research

The Inclusive Growth policy challenge: Europe 2020 is the EU's growth strategy for the current decade. As part of this strategy, the EU wants to create more and better jobs and enhance social inclusion. Targets are set to reach high levels of employment and to combat poverty (see table). In reality we see today in Europe, however, a growing social vulnerability and a rise in precarious work. The policy challenges related to the European strategy ...

Rethinking transpor infrastructure investments and mobility management across the Brussels metropolitan area: from critical analyses to cooperative policies - MOBRU. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Jean-Michel Decroly

Université libre de Bruxelles, Business technology and Operations, Electromobility research centre

Mobility is a critical challenge for the Brussels Capital-Region. Even if this issue has been investigated for more than two decades in the region, projects with a supra-regional approach have received less attention.

Yet in transportation matters, Brussels cannot be limited into its administrative boundaries. Moreover,mobility issues are linked with other metropolitan topics, such as the financing of the Region, the accessibility and ...

Digital Repository Infrastructure Vision for European Research - Phase Two - (DRIVER-II) Ghent University

Sylvia Van Peteghem

Research Department

DRIVER is a multi-phase effort whose vision and primary objective is to establish a cohesive, pan-European infrastructure of Digital Repositories, offering sophisticated functionality services to both researchers and the general public. The present proposal (DRIVER-II) aims to introduce key innovations compared to the original DRIVER project, while building on its results. The main novelties envisioned are: EStablishment of a European ...
