Improving income and strengthening the resilience of smallholder horticultural farmers in Jordan
June 20, 2023 - Project - Smallholder horticultural farmers in Jordan face several challenges that affect their productivity, profitability, overall sustainability, and livelihoods. The three-year horticulture sector development programme JordanHortiFuture (JHF) aims to provide support to address these challenges, improve the income and resilience of smallholder farmers, and contribute to the development and sustainability of the Jordanian horticulture sector as a whole. -
Indigenous peoples right in Indonesia: rural communities’ struggle and local governments’ politics of accountability (PhD project - Andi Hidayat)
June 28, 2023 - Project - The rights of indigenous people in Indonesia have long been violated and denied, especially under Suharto’s military dictatorship. After the demise of this regime in 1998, processes of democratization and decentralization started, leading to greater acknowledgement of these rights. A milestone in this process was the adoption of the ruling by the constitutional court strengthening the legitimacy customary rights, particularly over customary forest. However, despite significant efforts to promote democratization and decentralization since then, the process of recognition is slow and has only in a very few cases take place. -
Sensors for monitoring gastrointestinal health
September 15, 2022 - Project - This project aims to test and help improve existing capsule technologies that can be ingested to monitor digestive processes and intestinal health inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of animals. -
Transmission of digital dermatitis in dairy cattle
September 7, 2022 - Project - This project aims to study the transmission of the infectious claw disease Digital Dermatitis (“Mortellaro’s disease”) in dairy cattle and to investigate the genetic and environmental factors contributing to the transmission of the infection. Knowledge of those factors allows genomic selection for better claw health. -
Call for Partners: Photonics for Greenhouses & Cold Stores
November 16, 2020 - Project - This is a call for partners issued by AMOLF, WUR and University of Utrecht for the NWA-ORC research proposal “Photonics for Greenhouses & Cold stores”. Our goal is to bring advanced photonics into greenhouses and cold stores to improve the energy use, crop yield and food quality control. The main idea is to use coverings that absorb sunlight and redistribute it into light, heat, electricity, and spectroscopic signals that can be used to dynamically optimize growth and storage conditions. -
FUSIONS
September 18, 2012 - Project - More efficient use of resources and a considerable reduction of food waste in the food chain from field to fork. This is the aim of FUSIONS, a four-year European FP7 project involving universities, knowledge institutes, consumer organisations and businesses. -

Discovering anomalies in financial markets with particle physics
July 2, 2023 - Project - Project High Energy Physics Tools in Limit Order Book Analysis (HighLO) applies particle physics methods and tools to financial market data. The objective is to identify malicious trading behavior such as market manipulation, to better protect markets. Research from Project HighLO enables governments, regulators, exchanges and market participants to better understand malicious trading behaviour, its impacts and how to respond.
