Last week, the partnership visited Vlissingen. Currently, they are carrying out the vision 'spuikom'. Instead of holding back the water, they are allowing it into the city. The overflowing seawater during a storm is hereby channelled via a road to a natural area #Nbs Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities | SARCC 🌊

How can we make the (un)loading of vessels in ports more sustainable? Last week, the partners of the Interreg project #NorthSeaConnect had a great meeting in Göteborg 🇸🇪, hosted by SSPA. We talked about the bottlenecks in ports and how they can be solved through smart solutions💡

Thank you to all the presenters and for all the contributions from the audience. That concludes the #SARCCevent conference. We look forward to seeing how these learnings can be applied in the future! #NBS 🌍🇪🇺

We are back from a very exciting final conference of Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities | SARCC organised in Southend-on-sea. Vives presented results about ecosystem services related to #nbs. Thanks to everyone from the partnership for the interesting presentations and the great collaboration! 👏 🌊

"Dunes are an important part of coastal protection. Are we going to give them a chance to grow?" ~ How nice that research from @Viveshogeschool for Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities | SARCC about dunes was mentioned in the coastal magazine of De Panne! #nbs 🌊

Afgelopen week heb ik het Noordelijk Innovatielab Circulaire Economie (NICE) mogen ontmoeten te Rotterdam in het teken van het net gestart NSR Interreg project REDII Ports! Samen met #Vives gaan we samen circulaire stromen onderzoeken in havengebieden (DK, NL, BE, NO, FR, GE)⚓️🛥️

Lots of maps, coding methods, remote sensing, ecology, passionate speakers, ... all this at a beautiful location Kayla Benner. In summary: it was an interesting day!

Yesterday, the technology innovation fair of Hogeschool VIVES took place where the wave tank of Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities | SARCC was showcased. The tank shows how different types of coastal defences affect the potential for flood risk 🌊🌊 Interreg 2 Seas

The kick-off of the Raversijde living lab organised by Agentschap voor Maritieme Dienstverlening en Kust and Flanders Marine Institute - VLIZ took place yesterday. This dike investigates the force and overtopping of waves at the coastline. I was really impressed by this innovative research design. Looking forward to the results! 🌊 #SLR

We zijn er klaar voor! Vandaag is het zover, het symposium Circulaire Gebiedsontwikkeling! Ook al is het fysiek, we hebben een live stream. Heel boeiend ochtendprogramma. tudelft.zoom.us/j/98477767964 MBE , Resilient Delta Initiative , Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities , Gebiedsontwikkeling.nu , BK TUDelft

How can we map and define hotspots for renewable energy from exess energy sources within ports regions? Hogeschool VIVES presented the methodology for the coming years to the consortium in Hafen Hamburg ⛴️🌊@interregrediiports

How can we support intermodality growth in the North Sea Region through smart adjustments that improve efficiency?⛴️💡Vives attended the conference of North Sea Connect in Hamburg where we discussed the main bottlenecks at the port of Brussels, Gothenburg and Ostend #interreg

Flashback to the impressive EU Maritime Day at Brest 5/23 where the use of marine space, energy transition and blue skills were discussed. Our newly approved #interregNSR project DIOL (Develop Innovative Offshore Logostic) had also an exhibition booth 🌊 #hogeschoolvives

With the introduction of accessible new AI systems, travel will never be the same. Here’s what you need to know about how to use tools like ChatGPT for travel—and how to avoid being duped by AI “hallucinations.” on.natgeo.com/3Neuop5

It has been 6 months since the succesful SARCC project came to an end. Meanwhile, the results obtained continue to make their way into follow-up lectures! 💡🌊 Also interested in a talk about nature-based solutions and coastal protection? ✉️ let me know! #nbs #slr

Very pleased that Sustainable And Resilient Coastal Cities (SARCC) won with the poster presentation "Why isn't flanders under water? Protecting our coast sustainable", the VIC-Award for Best Impact Project! #NbS #SLR 🌊 #dagvanhetonderzoek

Connect & innovate: The green power plant of EU 💡🍀✈️ The past 2 days Vives had the opportunity to join the #InterregDIOL partnermeeting in Esbjerg, Denmark to help set in motion the logistics needed to develop the offshore renewable energy system in the North Sea Region

Wil je meer te weten komen over een stedelijke transformatie voor een duurzame toekomst? Kom dan langs op de wetenschapsbar op 6/12 bij Vives! Met als topics: Energie 💡, groen 🍀blauw 💦en circulariteit 🔃 vives.be/nl/over-vives/…

Hoe kunnen steden omgaan met de gevolgen van de klimaatverandering?🌆 Afgelopen week gaf ik een uiteenzetting hierover tijdens de wetenschapsbar van Hogeschool VIVES! Ook het groene, blauwe, energetische en circulaire aspect kwamen bij collega’s aan bod! Climate & Energy🌎

Tot morgen heb je nog de kans om Vives Drone Research te bezoeken op de Belgian Offshore Days in Oostende. Kom zeker eens langs op onze stand (Booth 257)! 📍 Locatie: Ostend Sea P’lace 👉 Gratis registreren kan via: lnkd.in/eQXxGR3x VIVES Research
