The effect and function of soft skills within the entrepreneurial family. Hasselt University
360° Diagnostics: Developing and testing 360° measuring instruments for soft skills Research group(s) AP Hogeschool Antwerpen
Competence-based team development for engineering projects with focus on soft skills KU Leuven
Matching the right team to the right project can heighten the chances of success, not only with respect to the individual project but also the organisation as a whole. The research outlined in this proposal aims to advance the state of the art in project scheduling and bridging the gap between theory and practice by taking a more realistic view on the concept of “competences” into account. Established and formulated problems only take simple ...

Onderzoek naar het leren van de 21-century skills aan de hand van virtual reality KU Leuven
Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a more sort out tool in the educational sector. VR provides a cost efficient method to learn and train skills in a controlled environment, which also allows for the collection of quantitative data, which in the real world might be harder to collect or examine. The ability to continuously train without having to reset, replace or buy more materials or hardware is an important advantage. Educational institutions ...
Adaptive modular architecture for rich motor skills Ghent University
Compared to animals and humans, the motor skills of today's robots still must be qualified as poor. Their behavioral repertoire is typically limited to a narrow set of carefully engineered motor patterns that operate a rigid mechanics and lack situated adaptivity, learnability and dynamical fusion of motor primitives into complex, task-oriented be-havioral patterns.
The AMARSi integrated Project aims at a qualitative jump toward ...
Development of innovative priming technologies safeguarding yield security in soft fruit crops through a cutting-edge technological approach KU Leuven
The development of non-toxic priming agents (PAs) is an important R&D activity, driven by European Commission (EC) policy. PRIMESOFT´s overarching objective is to explore innovations in the application of PAs in value-added soft fruit crops from a range of perspectives and strengthen educational, research and innovation activities among the Widening Institution (WI) and 4 internationally-renowned Advanced Partners (APs). Through this ...
PhD fellowship in digital learning support KU Leuven
The purpose of the project is to develop and evaluate the use of digital support in learning. We look at how technology can be used in an intelligent way, by dynamically adapting and personalizing the learning environment to the learner, based on a permanent monitoring of various skills and other person features. To this end, advanced techniques from statistics, psychometrics and computer sciences will be adapted and applied. The project ...
Haptic Feedback for Soft-Tissue Robotic Surgery: from Training Palpation to Haptic Augmentation KU Leuven
Robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) is a field in full development. Since evidence of the benefits of robotic approaches are surfacing the field, RMIS is receiving an increased interest by both academia and industry. There are nevertheless some major hurdles to this technology. Apart from the cost, a major impediment to its adoption is the long learning curve. As in RMIS the surgeon is decoupled from the patient and only interacts ...
