The Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air is a transdisciplinary alliance of more than 200 leaders and experts from more than 40 countries across every region of the world. Launched at the United Nations during Climate Week on September 23, 2025, the Commission brings together leaders spanning public …

Intercultural communication education (ICE) is often viewed as the transfer of stable knowledge, skills, and dispositions. Classroom interaction, as an important component of education, is, however, highly relational and deeply contextual. This paper proposes a novel perspective on ICE by integrating …

Floating developments have the potential to mitigate a range of challenges including fluctuating water levels, sea level rise, and pressures on available space on land for housing, energy production and storage, and food production. The national Dutch research project Floating Future is a project which …

In this chapter we will provide insight in the learning materials, tools and guides that have been developed within the Erasmus+ funded project Interprofessionalism in Action (INPRO). With these materials we closed the gap between competency levels of future professionals and professionals in rehabilitation …

Within the Cool Neighbourhoods project, heat stress is assessed using the Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET), a thermal comfort indicator that combines meteorological conditions with spatial and environmental variables. PET-based heat stress maps provide insight into spatial differences in thermal …

Many modern unitised façades rely on structural sealant glazing (SSG) to accommodate building drift and slab deflection. However, when hung-and-sworded panels undergo racking, the resulting shear strains expose limitations in current design workflows. While it is common practice to use simplified linear …

The goal of this project is to investigate the feasibility and value of a modular tool system for the Roberine machine platform (seen in Figure 1). Currently, the Roberine is used as a mowing machine with a limited range of available tools. This may reduce its versatility compared to competing machines …

Cities and communities are central arenas for the global sustainability transition, and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is increasingly recognised as a key lever for the long-term societal learning this transition requires. Yet there is no systematic, transparent way to assess whether municipal …

The graduation subject focuses on research and development of a Page Builder tool with an AI assistant. The core concept is to allow technical and non-technical users to create and edit Spectrum application pages by combining a visual interface with an AI assistant. Before describing the tool itself, …

Building energy performance is largely determined during the early conceptual design stages. However, energy evaluation is often postponed until after key architectural decisions—such as massing and façade configuration—have been finalized, limiting opportunities for meaningful optimization. This study …
