Versterking van geavanceerde doctoraatsopleidingen in innovatieve geneesmiddelen (colon targeting drugs) KU Leuven
The Colon Targeting Network (COLOTAN) is a European Training Network that will train 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) in (bio)pharmaceutical sciences to improve targeting of oral drugs to the colon.
Oral administration of drugs is the preferred delivery route due to its non-invasiveness and convenience for the patient. However, issues related to solubility, absorption, and metabolism often cause oral drug candidate attrition. Oral ...
Emotionele band binnen en tussen culturele contexten: Analyse van natuurlijke taal om het conceptuele systeem voor emoties te beschrijven en te vergelijken KU Leuven
The frequencies, intensities, and types of emotions people experience in a given situation differ systematically across cultural boundaries. This variation is inherently meaningful because it reflects differences in the conceptual system for emotions, with implications for well-being. Emotional fit between an individual and other members of their culture is a protective factor for mental and physical health, as is a well-developed conceptual ...
Onderzoek en training voor het paleis-museum van morgen. KU Leuven
PALAMUSTO ETN, a network of leading European universities, heritage institutions and palace-museums, investigates the court residence or palace as a phenomenon of cultural exchange, not only in the past but also today and in the future. A new history of the palace is indeed needed in order to define its relevance for present-day Europe.
The palace’s status as heritage, as prime touristic attraction and as part of the experience ...

The network will investigate the protection of rights and interests of individuals and groups impacted by the continuous large-scale analysis of personal data, while still enabling the economy and society to benefit ...
Transformeren van magnetische resonantie spectroscopie in een klinische tool. KU Leuven
In vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Spectroscopic Imaging (MRS(I)) are unique, indispensable techniques for non-invasive metabolic imaging. Important areas where MRS(I) can make a difference are oncology and neurology, where metabolic changes due to, e.g., tumour formation, can be detected earlier and more sensitively than with morphological imaging modalities alone. Despite its huge proven potential, MRS(I) is not yet a routine ...
Het Digitale Publieke Ruimte Onderzoeksnetwerk (DPSRN) KU Leuven
The project explores how the digitization of the public space obliges us to revise our notions of individual and collective agency. In particular, DPSRN responds to this question by bringing together early career researchers with expertise in different fields to: (1) develop a novel methodology for understanding the public space that incorporates non-linguistic media, particularly the role of the audiovisual and digital interfaces in the ...
Niemand-joden: niet-nationale joden tussen toevlucht en deportatie tijdens de jaren dertig en de Holocaust KU Leuven
The Nazi’s rise to power and occupation of large swathes of Europe had a significant impact on more than 17 million individuals. Jews formed the biggest group that was racially targeted by Nazi Germany. National Jewish communities in all European countries suffered from the increasing destruction of the Nazis. Notably, more than two thirds of all the Jewish victims in Nazi-occupied and Nazi allied countries were non-national Jews. Within this ...
Europees opleidingsnetwerk over elektromagnetische risico's in de medische technologie KU Leuven
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is not just an annoyance. With increasing numbers of safety-critical devices communicating wirelessly, ensuring that equipment functions correctly is an ever-increasing concern. Nowhere is this more true than hospital environments. Europe is a leader in many areas of medical technology, with companies like Philips at the forefront of research. However, with highly complex interactions between devices ...
