A cluster project on Water Management in a changing Climate, Adaptationto new conditions, and Promotion of new strategies Ghent University
Historical hydrological patterns can no longer be solely relied upon to forecast the water future. Having realised this, a new paradigm for water management is needed. WaterCAP provides recommendations for future implementation of directives affected by changed climate. The cluster will focus on recommendations relevant to the policymakers on: 1) Water quantity/quality issues, 2) Impact analysis to predict climate change impacts on different ...
NAIADES: A holistic water ecosystem for digitisation of urban water sector Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Ecosystem envisions transforming water sector through automated and smarter water resource management and environmental monitoring, achieving a high level of water services in both residential or commercial consumers, exploiting the efficient use of physical and digital components of water ecosystem.
NAIADES will apply in various situations on diverse big data in terms of sources, data types, and entities ...

Closing waste water cycles for nutrient recovery Ghent University
WalNUT aims to develop the necessary concepts and technological solutions to re-design the value and supply chains of nutrients from waste water and brine, while staying in line with the objectives of the EIP on Agrifood and Raw Materials. A wide range of technological processes (physico-chemical, electro-chemical, biological) will be validated in labscale. 5 pilot plants for the nutrient recovery from waste water and brine will be tailored ...
PHOSphorus Recovery from waste water FOR YOUr Life Ghent University
Phos4You (P4Y) addresses the phosphorus (P) challenge. P is a nutrient essential for all living organisms. Though it is a finite resource on earth, P is largely wasted today. The EU acknowledged this by adding phosphate rock to its list of critical raw materials in 2014. There is a need to boost the use of secondary raw P. The project addresses rural, urban and port areas in NWE. P is needed in rural areas as fertilizer or feed additive ...
Development of rehabilitation technologies and approaches for multipressured degraded waters and the integration of their impact on river basin management (AQUAREHAB). KU Leuven
Pilothal for applied research and development around processing processes of vegetables and potatoes Ghent University
At the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering at Ghent University, there has long been extensive experience in the processing of vegetables and potatoes and how this processing affects the quality. The whole chain is, as it were, assured, from cultivation to processing and marketing. Various groups are active in various sub-domains of the processing of vegetables and potatoes: washing, packaging, microbiological and chemical quality and safety ...
Integrated Nitrogen Studies in Africa Ghent University
The overall objective of the INSA (Integrated Nitrogen Studies in Africa) project is to work on different aspects of the nitrogen budget in Africa, with interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary competences, based on a network of scientists from Europe and Africa. An essential output of this project will be to create an interoperable platform on N topics to a large public including academics and stakeholders, and to increase the awareness of ...
The Sensory Ecology of Water: A Multisensory Anthropological Study of Outdoor Swimming in the Arctic KU Leuven
My project aims to re-think human-more-than-human interconnectedness by examining entangled relationships between arctic waters, the senses, and place. As a community of practice, outdoor swimming in Norway provides a unique lens through which to examine a sharing in the sensible grounded-in holistic planetary wellbeing. Following the global COVID-19 pandemic and wellbeing crisis, practitioners, tourism agencies, and popular media outlets ...
