Urbanisation and climate change increase the need for quantitative insight into the contribution of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate adaptation. While NbS are widely implemented at local scales, their aggregated contribution to regional and national adaptation ambitions remains largely unknown. …

Manufacturing firms are increasingly adopting AI to improve inspection, maintenance, scheduling, robotics, digital twins, knowledge management, and supply chain coordination. However, these applications do not automatically create human-centered progress. Without deliberate organizational maturity, AI …

Climate adaptation requires innovative approaches to address collaborative knowledge exchange and multidisciplinary problem solving. For over a decade, ClimateScan has provided an open-source platform to map urban resilience and existing climate adaptation solutions implemented all over the world. Apart …

The success of the energy transition will depend not only on the rapid deployment of zeroemission technologies, but also on the expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. Equally important is meaningful engagement with the communities affected by this transition. Despite …

Het NO-GIZMOS-project heeft aangetoond dat gedecentraliseerde energiebronnen in het laagspanningsnet congestieproblemen op middenspanningsniveau (MV) effectief kunnen oplossen. Onze pilot in Ansen heeft aangetoond dat een gemeenschapsgebaseerde en algoritmisch aangestuurde virtuele energiecentrale, bestaande …

Een workshop over de verkenning NHKI kernenergie. Deelnemers waren de hogescholen Hanze, Saxion, InHolland, HZ, Avans en Hogeschool Rotterdam, Regieorgaan SIA en Ministerie Klimaat en Groene Groei.Centraal stond de verkenningen van de hogescholen naar kennissamenwerking omtrent kernenergie in Nederland …

Potato starch offers the unique potential of mineral enrichment through the presence of phosphorylated amylopectin chains. This property was utilised in a straightforward dual modification of native potato starch by combining mineral enrichment with dry heat treatments (DHT). DHT itself (110–130 °C, …

Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) is an inter-governmental organisation and has many disaster-prone countries among its 23 Member States and 12 Dialogue Partners. Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is one of its priority areas and its Action Plan (2022-2027) has specific goals to improve resilience by …

The urgency of the energy transition is increasing. Grid congestion is a growing issue and the effects of climate change are becoming more apparent. To accelerate the energy transition we need to learn more from each other and share knowledge more effectively. In the Learning Communities System Integration …
