Intersectorale netwerken voor innovatie op slimme thermische oplossingen voor fietshelmen. KU Leuven
Bicycle helmets are a tremendously important asset against head injuries during accidents. However, their normal use is often associated with strong thermal discomfort due to the (thermally) insulating nature of the materials used in their structures. This affects directly the willingness to wear helmets, which has direct implications in terms of the risk to which riders are exposed to. However, the capacity and expertise to improve the ...
Onderzoek naar mechanische eigenschappen, omkering van energieabsorptie, ultrasone monitoring en identificatie van progressief faalgedrag van 4D-geprinte metastructuren KU Leuven
Using additive manufacturing methods and the capability of introducing meta structures by four dimensional (4D) printing technology, the study of smart reinforced meta structures (SRMS) is one of the most attractive areas of research. Literature survey reveals that there is the lack of comprehensive research in this area. Therefore, there is a good potential to improve the design of meta structures using fiber-reinforced composite materials ...
Peer to Peer Slimme Energiedistributienetwerken KU Leuven
P2P-SmartTest project investigates and demonstrates a smarter electricity distribution system integrated with advanced ICT, regional markets and innovative business models. It will employ Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approaches to ensure the integration of demand side flexibility and the optimum operation of DER and other resources within the network while maintaining second-to-second power balance and the quality and security of the supply. The ...
Centrum voor uitmuntendheid in territoriaal beheer en kadaster. KU Leuven
Unlike most European countries, Romania does not have yet a general cadastre. Such a deficiency represents a critical element for the economy of the country, since it makes legal contracts, such as land purchasing, very difficult to be implemented.
Starting from such a complex scenario, CENTRIC aims –in the long term- at the creation in Romania of the new Centre of Excellence on territorial management and cadastre.
The future ...

PolyUrethane Recycling naar een slimme circulaire economie KU Leuven
Thermosetting Polyurethanes (PU) provide a unique combination of durability, light weight, high strength and flexibility to high value consumer goods and other applications. PU thermosets have grown to a global market of 50 billion €, ultimately resulting in high volumes of waste mostly disposed via landfill or incineration as the SOA of the recycling technology is limited. PUReSmart will bridge the gap between the current PU linear economy ...
Zelfherstellende, multifunctionele, geavanceerde reparatietechnologieën in cementieve systemen KU Leuven
SMARTINCS will train a new generation of entrepreneurial early-stage researchers (ESR) in prevention of deterioration of (i) new concrete infrastructure by innovative, multifunctional self-healing strategies; (ii) existing concrete infrastructure by advanced repair technologies. The project brings together the expertise of research institutes pioneering in smart cementitious materials, strengthened by leading companies along the SMARTINCS ...
