The adoption of hydrogen metallurgy in the climate-neutral production of steel KU Leuven
The HELIOS Doctoral Network will train 10 motivated and talented Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in breakthrough technologies for the hydrogen-based production of green steel, including both carbon steel and stainless steel. These DCs will be equipped with the necessary science capital and diverse transferable skills to pursue their careers in Europe and become the experts that our society needs to achieve the climate-neutral production of steel by ...
Examining the Evolving Steering Role of NGOs on the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights Ghent University
Through litigation strategies and third-party interventions, non-governmental (NGOs) set the normative agenda of, and thereby constantly (re)shape, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR). Yet most studies on the evolving jurisprudence of the Inter-American Human Rights System (IAS) relating to environmental matters primarily centre on the interpretative innovations made by its judiciary.
NGOsteerIACtHR develops and applies an ...
An innovative analytical platform to investigate the effect of toxicity of micro and nano plastics combined with environmental contaminants on the risk of allergic disease. KU Leuven
There is an urgent need to understand the risks on human health of micro- and nano-plastic particles (MNPs) that contaminate food and environment. We aim to create a cross-disciplinary platform to design suitable analytical approaches for determining the extent of the problem in the environment and to our health by evaluating the influence of ingested and inhaled exposure of MNPs contaminated with metals, allergens, pathogenic bacteria and ...

Control of imitation and social cognition: the interaction of motor mirroring and theory of mind Ghent University
Recent work based on ideomotor theory and Ihe discovery of the mirror neuron system has suggested that Ihe observalion
of an action is associated with Ihe aclivalion of the corresponding motor representation in the observer. In accordance with
this hypothesis it has been demonstrated that observing an action interferes with one's own actions when these are different
from those being observed. This. however. ...
Development of mouse mutant resources for functional analyses of human diseases - Enhancing the translation of research into innovation. KU Leuven
The mouse shows great similarities in development, physiology and biochemistry to humans, which makes it a key model for research into human disease. The major challenges for mouse functional genomics in the 21st century are to:
- Develop a series of mutant alleles for every gene in the mouse genome
- Determine the phenotypic consequences of each mutation
- Identify mouse models for the complete disease spectrum in ...
Strengthening the Occupational Health Expertise and Scientific Capacity of Public Institution of Turkey Ghent University
The general aim of this project (ESPrIT) is to strengthen the scientific standing PHIT in the field of occupational health, with a particular focus on occupational diseases. The project will be realised with the assistance of the applied research organisation TNO (NL) that has a position in the top 5of EU institutes in occupational health & safety research, and the academic institutes VUmc (NL) with a leading position in medical and ...
