Conventional centralised sewerage systems are increasingly challenged by climate change, population growth and sustainability goals. Decentralised wastewater treatment systems (DWTS) offer an alternative by reducing hydraulic loads, enabling local reuse and supporting resource recovery. This study analyses …

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 …

Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Het onderzoek richt zich op de behoefte aan interdisciplinaire, praktijkgerichte en maatschappelijk geëngageerde leermodellen om klimaatgerelateerde wateruitdagingen aan te pakken.

Cape Town faces a complex and interlinked set of climate-related challenges, including recurring droughts, flooding, intensifying heat stress and biodiversity loss. These impacts are further amplified by rapid urbanization, pollution (often due to poor infrastructure and service delivery), ageing water …

This conceptual essay examines why Integral Sustainable Entrepreneurship (ISE) is an essential enabler for long-term value creation under conditions of ecological and societal constraints. Dominant shareholder-oriented economic models prioritize short-term financial performance and tend to overlook ecological …

Van de 212 buurt- en dorpshuizen in de provincie is het bestuur van het merendeel ervan begonnen met het stapsgewijs verduurzamen van het gebouw. Idealiter gaat de snelheid waarmee deze gebouwen verduurzaamd worden de komende jaren omhoog. In dit rapport worden de uitkomsten en conclusies beschreven …

Due to growing power consumption and the energy transition, installation of high-voltage underground cables (HVUC) is becoming increasingly crucial for increasing transmission capacity while minimising societal and environmental disruption. This thesis, completed in a professional setting at Witteveen+Bos, …

Little is known about how resilience to disinformation develops and manifests in people’s daily lives. Addressing this gap, our study investigates young adults’ tactics for navigating disinformation and the resources they draw from throughout this process. Based on 29 semi-structured interviews with …
