From understanding to actions using a hydrological model and role-playing games
February 25, 2021 - Project - My PhD project is expected to better understand the forest-people-water nexus to promote collaboration among stakeholders for achieving hydrological restoration in two contrasting landscapes in Indonesia, using GenRiver model and serious games to facilitate the learning, decision making and negotiation process among stakeholders. -
RUMIGEN: Specifying acceptance opportunities for genomic and epigenomic approaches
July 2, 2023 - Project - The RUMIGEN project investigates the opportunities to use genomic and epigenomic backgrounds of ruminants to create new breeds of those animals. Given the sensitivity of the topic societal acceptability is key. To that aim we are developing a new multidimensional approach to organize stakeholder discussion which we call the room of acceptance. -

Addressing Health Inequalities in Vulnerable Urban Neighbourhoods by Social Community Enterprises
January 18, 2018 - Project - The overarching goal is to measure the impacts of the intervention social community enterprises on the health of residents with low socioeconomic status. This project is based on the assets model of health: residents and communities are supported to identify and mobilize assets for their own health and well-being. Six social community enterprises have been selected as case studies in socially vulnerable neighbourhoods of the city of Arnhem. Their aim is to create, in co-creation with residents, added value for community members by deploying a mixture of social, economic and environmental activities. Core of the approach is that residents participate, make choices by themselves, improve their local community and by doing so improve their health. Concrete activities are creation of informal meeting places, creation of social enterprises, training of working skills, taking care of the physical environment and initiating support networks. -

Call for partners: Sustainable high-protein concentrates
June 8, 2023 - Project - Protein ingredients for plant-based foods need to deliver on functional and flavor performance. Protein isolates are best-in-class in this regard, but are processed using wet separation technologies which use high levels of water and energy for drying. Dry separation technologies are preferred for sustainability. This project aims to combine dry separation with post-processing steps to achieve the best of both: sustainable high-protein concentrates. -
Optimising supply chain efficiency of strawberries with a digital twin
July 3, 2023 - Project - Strawberries are delicious fruits, but also highly perishable after harvest. In Europe, an estimated 30% of all strawberries is lost or wasted along the supply chain or at the consumer. By using a digital twin, this project aims to maximise strawberry quality for the consumer, while reducing food losses, (energy) costs and greenhouse gas emissions. -
Escape (Erasmus+)
May 12, 2017 - Project - The ESCAPE project aims to develop an innovative training programme on marketing and business-related competences directed towards food technology students, and to evaluate the developed training programme via an experimentation phase in HEIs in three different European countries (France, Italy and the Netherlands). -
SPRINT
January 1, 2022 - Project - Farming systems in Europe rely strongly on the use of Plant Protection Products (PPPs) to secure profitability, yields, and safety in food production. The knowledge on the effects of the wide-scale use of PPPs on humans (and animals) as consumers and residents, and ecosystems is scarce and fragmented.
