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 …

This graduation project focuses on improving the understanding and analysis of complex business processes that are difficult to manage due to inconsistencies, lack of standardisation, and poor interoperability between systems. The project is situated in the domain of business process modelling and simulation, …

This project is grounded in three complementary theoretical perspectives: digital twin technology, material trade-off theory in electric motor design, and interactive learning theory. Digital twin theory provides the conceptual basis for linking system modelling with dynamic representation, supporting …

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 …

This inaugural volume, Breaking Barriers: Accelerating Transitions, brings together papers and abstracts presented at the Conference on Energy, Livestock, and Mobility Transitions, part of the New Energy Forum in Groningen. The publication reflects both the rapid development of the energy transition …

Undertaken in 2025, the Global Infrastructure Resilience Survey (GIRS) represents the largest global stocktake of infrastructure resilience to date, capturing the perspectives of over 3,000 professionals across more than 100 countries. The survey provides an unprecedented, practice-based view of the …

This demo introduces prompt design as a research approach to studying visual generative AI, distinguishing it from prompt engineering practices that focus on producing aesthetically pleasing or technically polished outputs. Drawing on the query design framework from digital methods, we outline several …

This thesis investigates the development of internal shear stresses in stiffened-core deep composite pile foundations, with particular focus on the FUNDEX Combi Pile system. These piles are widely used in urban environments due to their vibration-free installation and ability to perform under challenging …

Dit diagnostisch onderzoek richt zich op de kwaliteit van de verpleegkundige overdracht tussen de acute- en verpleegafdelingen binnen het Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen (UMCG). De aanleiding voor het onderzoek waren signalen over een gebrek aan uniformiteit en een consequent hoog aantal incidentmeldingen …

Local energy transitions are promoted as means to achieve decarbonization, ensure democratic participation by local communities in energy decision-making, and foster social acceptance of renewable energy projects. However, despite the growing maturity of energy technologies and increased policy support, …
