IOF Proof of Concept: Redirect - Smart and Efficient Driving Circuits for LED lighting Systems and DC Networks in Various Applications Vrije Universiteit Brussel
An experimental study on the effects of long term exposure to artificial light at night on free-living great tits (Parus major) and the effectiveness of part-night lighting as mitigating strategy. University of Antwerp
Non-rare earth luminescent materials for displays and lighting Ghent University
The currently used luminescent materials for LEDs and diplays are based on the light emission of lanthanides. Due to their increasing cost and shortage, it is necessary to develop alternative materials,, especially for large light emitting surfaces. The project aims at investigating and developing such new materials. This is of fundamental importance, but also has a large economic potential.
Righting Victim Participation in Transitional Justice Ghent University
The question of how to serve justice, facilitate peaceful transitions and empower victims of past large-scale abuses is about as old as the field of transitional justice (TJ) itself. Increasingly, academics and practitioners are turning to participatory approaches as a promising way to make advances regarding these issues. An oft-cited benefit of victim participation in TJ processes is that it allegedly increases the legitimacy of these ...

Barriers and carriers for non-viral delivery of mRNA to induce transient protein expression in the retina: the hurdles of the inner limiting membrane and innate immunity versus the potential of mRNA self-amplification. Ghent University
The intravitreal delivery of mRNA packaged into nanoparticles to reach the inner retina is mainly hindered by the inner limiting membrane and the innate immunity that detects and destroys mRNA. Therefore, several goals were set up: (1) design small nanoparticles (<80 nm), (2) evaluation of selfamplifying
mRNA, (3) mRNA combined with innate immunity inhibitors and (4) mRNA vs. Selfamplifying mRNA.
