This project addresses the environmental challenges of overfertilization in Dutch agriculture by exploring the use of human manure as a sustainable alternative. Collaborating with organizations like Broodje Poep and farms such as Veld en Beek. By Marieke Meesters
🌱Human-Centered AI for Climate Adaptation
This project introduces a framework using Visual Analytics (VA) and Explainable AI (XAI) to develop climate adaptation strategies across sectors. Starting with a Dutch case study along the Waal River, the project will build interactive VA tools for decision-makers, promoting broader adoption of AI in climate resilience planning. By Angelos Chatzimparmpas and David Gold.
🌱Art-Science for Radical Transformation
Art-science collaborations, offer promise in fostering such imagination. Bringing together 25 artists, researchers, and curators, this project, led by Josie Chambers, seeks to explore methodologies, identify supportive conditions, and establish a European network for future joint projects.
🌱Sustainable Public Procurement
Public procurement, the process by which governments purchase goods and services, plays a crucial role in sustainability, influencing 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Integrating environmental and socially responsible practices into these processes is often overlooked. By Vítězslav Titl.
🌱Pedagogy of Hope in Vocational Education
This project aims to expand the successful "Pedagogy of Hope" initiative, previously implemented in HAVO and VWO classes, to include VMBO students. Preliminary studies show varying attitudes among youth towards climate change and sustainability, with many VMBO students facing immediate concerns like financial issues that overshadow environmental issues. By Tim Favier
🌱Trans-local Learning for Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture aims to address climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity and soil degradation by creating positive impacts through alternative farming. A collaboration between universities in the USA, Netherlands and Colombia found that North American farmers are motivated by relational values.
