Geestelijke gezondheidsbevordering en interventie in beroepsmatige instellingen: MENTUPP KU Leuven
Depression and anxiety are the most prevalent mental health difficulties in the workplace in the EU, causing immense suffering and costing the global economy €1 trillion each year in lost productivity. Certain sectors, in particular construction, health and ICT, have an elevated risk of mental health difficulties, with those working in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) being particularly vulnerable. However, most SMEs have limited capacity ...
Innovatieve, kleinschaliger voedselverwerking in een doos KU Leuven
The unique FOX approach will research and develop innovative, small scale technologies in mobile or flexible processing units for different applications for small and medium enterprises and farmers in the fruit and vegetable sector in Europe. This will stimulate the transition from a centralised industry to regional hubs that employ innovative, flexible and sustainable technologies based on seasonality and demand. By this, FOX meets ...
Cybersecurity-accelerator voor vertrouwde IT-ecosystemen in het MKB (FORTIKA) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
To fulfil its vision the project adopts a security by design hybrid approach that adequately integrates hardware and ...
Bevordering van actief ouder worden: functionele nanostructuren voor de ziekte van Alzheimer in ultravroege stadia KU Leuven
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia and loss of autonomy in the elderly, implying a progressive cognitive decline and limitation of social activities. Progressive aging of EU population will increase the magnitude of this problem in the next decades. Currently, there is not an effective method for the early diagnosis of AD. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new effective early diagnostic and therapeutic ...
Er komt een robotrevolutie in de precisielandbouw KU Leuven
ECHORD++ will achieve its goal by implementing three different instruments: the Experiments, Public end-user Driven Technological Innovation (PDTI), and the Robotics Innovation Facilities (RIFs). With the Experiments and PDTI, ECHORD++ offers research consortia funding to develop robotics technology for real use-cases. The RIFs provide a unique chance to try out new business ideas and make field tests at zero risk.
These tools are ...
Virus ontdekking en epidemische tracering uit metagenomische sequencing met hoge doorvoer KU Leuven
NGS analysis pipelines are rapidly becoming part of the routine repertoire of research, clinical and public health laboratories in the public sector and private industry. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is only one example of the many recent virus discoveries made through analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Yet, only a small part of the several millions of short-length sequence fragments generated by NGS ...
Stimuleren van toekomstige bosecosysteemdiensten en inkomens in Europa KU Leuven
Forests are crucial for climate mitigation, biodiversity protection, water flow regulation, recreational, cultural and health services – and many other forest ecosystem services (FES). Yet, as our key challenge, Europe’s forests at present critically undershoot their potential to deliver FES. Climate change will affect future FES supply. Societal demand for FES will be complex, and highly dynamic. Some FES economic values are ill explored. ...
VIROME NGS-ANALYSE VAN PESTEN EN PATHOGENEN VOOR GEWASBESCHERMING. KU Leuven
Next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has proved to be pivotal for elucidating the complexity and the role of the microbiome associated with plant and animals. The role of the “virome” as a sub-component of the microbiome is beginning to be unveiled because of new ways to analyse the data and in recognition of its importance in shaping biological systems. The aim of VIROPLANT is to apply NGS technology and empirical biological ...
Cloud voor Europa KU Leuven
Cloud for Europe (C4E) addresses the objectives of the European Cloud Partnership program. It gives a clear view on the public sector requirements and usage scenarios for Cloud Computing in Europe. The main objectives of C4E are to remove the obstacles for Cloud adoption and to harmonize the requirements from different public organisations beyond national borders. Stakeholders from industry, purchasers, government users and citizens are ...
