BENIGN: BluE and greeN Infrastructure desiGned to beat the urbaN heat
BENIGN aims to investigate how blue and green infrastructure can be employed in urban areas to create healthy living conditions.
-
Complexity and Uncertainty in Circular Closed Loop Supply Chains - Case studies
This subproject is part of a larger project focusing on 3 case studies in closed loop logistics focusing on stimulating capability development and double-loop learning transition towards a closed-loop timber supply chain.

INSpECT: INfrastructure interdependencies in Sustainable and inclusivE CiTies
INSpECT will explore these interdependencies to allow a more integrated approach towards strategic investments in transforming urban neighbourhoods.
-
Open Strategizing for Infrastructures in Transition (PRONTO)
PRONTO investigates what practices of open strategizing are enacted by infrastructure agencies and develops governance and modelling approaches in support of the development of cross-sectoral infrastructure strategies.
-
Sustainable plastics
We combine environmental life cycle assessment, participative system dynamics modelling, and ex-ante policy evaluation to assess the relevant sociotechnical systems around circular plastics and bioplastics.

Calcium Looping To Capture Co2 From Industrial Processes By 2030 (CaLby2030)
CaLby2030 focuses on TRL6 demonstration of its pioneering Calcium Looping (CaL) CO2 capture systems using the wellestablished Circulating Fluidised Bed (CFB) technology to a state ready for largescale commercial deployment by 2030.

On the Move: Transition towards Sustainable Mobility
The negative effects of spatial mobility (e.g. congestion, unsafety, fossil fuel use and land use), create a strong pressure to transition towards a more sustainable mobility system. This asks for trend-breaking change strategies.

Green Parishes and Monasteries in the Netherlands
Parishes and monasteries are also following the social trend of sustainability. The Green Parishes in the Netherlands research project aims to examine and analyse the Catholic Netherlands’ approach to environmental friendliness and sustainability.
-
National Individual Floating Transport Infrastructure (NIfTI)
Researchers from the National Individual Floating Transport Infrastructure (NIFTI) project will be studying the feasibility of a radically new form of transportation in which an individual module is driven by subsurface magnets.
-
Living Lab Ooijpolder
In recent years, scientists have experimented with innovative forms of biodiversity restoration in the Ooijpolder in Gelderland. The Living Lab looks at how the existing pilot schemes and initiatives have improved biodiversity in this region.

Prioritisation and Risk Evaluation of Medicines in the EnviRonment (PREMIER)
Pharmaceutical residue can cause environmental damage. Much of the medicines that we use are released into the sewer via excretion. That is why a European research consortium is developing a system that analyses the environmental risks of medicines.

Quantifying electron-electron forces at the atomic scale
In this project, researchers will investigate novel correlated electron phases in 2D materials. These phases exhibit unusual superconducting or magnetic behaviour and a better understanding of the role of electron interactions is needed. The research
