Radical Innovation through Corporate Venturing KU Leuven
Innovation is considered as one of the most important drivers for the competitiveness and profitability of incumbent firms. Nevertheless, industry incumbents are often found to lack the ability to develop drastic or radical innovations internally due to their reliance on existing technologies, established value networks and distinct, but rigid routines. In the past decades, incumbent firms started to make intensive use of corporate venturing ...
PRoviding Energy Metering Infrastructures with Secure Extended Services (PREMISES) KU Leuven
Energy metering infrastructures, i.e. smart meters (SMs), are a key component in the transition towards a more sustainable and
intelligent electricity grid. Nevertheless, they have received very little attention as an enabler of user centric energy services (ES) such as
demand response (DR) strategies, a key objective of the Clean Energy for all Europeans package (2019). Achieving this goal, however, is
linked to a series of ...
Within-generational and transgenerational plasticity to nutrient stress in endangered, non-endangered and invasive plants Vrije Universiteit Brussel
different phenotypes in different environments, either within a single
generation (within-generation plasticity, WGP) or across generations
(transgenerational plasticity, TGP). TGP theory assumes elevated
offspring-tolerance towards abiotic stressors, e.g. through epigenetic
DNA methylation. High TGP plants may be ecological generalists, ...

Influence of partial glycerides on the micorstructural development and breakdown of crystallized fats Ghent University
To control the macroscopic properties of fat-based foods, thorough understanding of the underlying mechanisms and kinetics of microstructure development and breakdown is needed. It will be investigated how partial glycerides affect crystallization of different fat systems. Cryo-SEM methodologies will be developed to reveal the microstructure of the fat crystal networks. Finally, relationships between microstructure and its breakdown will be ...
