The document discusses an interfaculty centre of excellence for sustainable aquaculture production at Ghent University. The centre includes 7 laboratories and research units across 3 faculties, supported by around 100 researchers and a technology transfer officer. Major projects include an FP7 project worth 3 million Euros, a GOA project worth 1.5 million Euros, and an IUAP project worth 3.4 million Euros. The centre's research focuses on areas like husbandry techniques, nutrition, breeding, and disease management to address challenges for the aquaculture industry around sustaining yields, reducing variability, and reducing financial losses.
This document summarizes Peter Davies' presentation on composites for maritime applications. It discusses IFREMER's work testing and developing composite materials and structures for surface vessels and underwater applications. Some key projects mentioned include testing composite panels and structures to simulate marine loads, developing thermoplastic composite cylinders for underwater uses that demonstrate good implosion resistance and impact behavior similar to epoxy composites. The presentation also outlines potential future areas of work with biocomposites and low-temperature thermoplastic resin infusion materials.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document summarizes the research of the coastal engineering group at the Civil Engineering department. It focuses on design, construction, and monitoring of coastal structures. Main research themes include hydraulic stability of armor units, pore pressure attenuation in breakwaters, and wave impact on structures. Research methods include full-scale measurements, physical scale model testing, and numerical modeling. Infrastructure includes a jetty for prototype tests, wave flumes, and instrumentation for measurements. Other areas of research include renewable energy from waves and tides, wave energy converters, and wake effects in wave farms.
This document provides an agenda and information for the ZEETEX SEMINAR OOSTENDE on July 9th, 2013. The parallel session 4 focuses on shipbuilding and sailing. It will include an introduction on composites used in shipbuilding, windmills, ship interiors and exteriors. There will also be presentations on rules and regulations in the maritime industry, blue energy technologies like kites and sails for ship propulsion, coatings to reduce fouling on maritime materials, and current and future applications of composites in marine industries.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Mikaël Laurent on the uses of textiles during oil spills. It discusses how Cedre, the Centre of Documentation, Research and Experimentation on Accidental Water Pollution in France, provides technical expertise on textiles for oil spill response. The presentation outlines the main uses of textiles for containing, collecting, and cleaning up oil. It also describes the principles of France's organization for oil spill response at sea and on land, and notes the specific market for oil spill response equipment.
A survey of textile companies in Northern France and Belgium was conducted with the objectives of understanding the industry, identifying needs, and demonstrating the sector's importance for funding. A web-based survey was sent to 450 companies, with 91 responding by September, representing 12,498 employees across 46 French and 45 Belgian companies with average employment of 145 per company and total turnover of 2.9 billion euros. The survey gathered information on innovations, markets, raw materials, and production processes in the textile industry.
The document describes the research areas of Prof. Ronny Blust's Ecophysiology, Biochemistry and Toxicology Group. The group conducts research in (eco)toxicology, field studies, biomonitoring, hazard and risk assessment, mode of action studies, metal analysis, and chemical analysis of complex matrices like aquatic and terrestrial food webs, sediments, soil and water. The group also studies airborne pollutants, particulate matter, and water treatment and reuse technologies. Some example projects mentioned include EU framework programs studying tidal rivers, environmental pollutants, and engineered nanoparticles, as well as industry projects on trace metal sensitivity and shrimp tributyltin levels.
Masterplan Energy Port Oostende - 2014-03-25reboostende
Met de Energy Port speelt de Haven van Oostende in op de groei van de ‘blue energy sector’. Blue Energy is de verzamelnaam voor alle energie afkomstig uit zee: wind-, golf- en getijdenenergie. De Energy Port Oostende is ondertussen uitgegroeid tot een regionale trekpleister voor bedrijven actief in deze sector.
In het kader van het Europese Interreg project “Duurzame Zeehavens” werkte een consortium van bedrijven (3E, MOP Urban Design, i-propeller en Rebel) in opdracht van het Autonoom Havenbedrijf Oostende een visie en masterplan uit voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de Energy Port Oostende. Met deze studie wil de Haven van Oostende een antwoord vinden op de groeiende toestroom aan bedrijven en wil ze een strategie uitwerken voor de organisatie op het land van de blue energy sector.
In de voorhaven van de haven van Oostende worden windmolens geassembleerd. Vanuit de gebouwen op deze site wordt het beheer en onderhoud gecoördineerd. Beheer en onderhoud nemen stilaan een belangrijke plaats in beslag. Dat is een gezonde evolutie, omdat hierdoor contracten worden afgesloten voor 10-15 jaar en dit dus werkgelegenheid op lange termijn verzekert voor de regio. De gebruikseisen veranderen evenwel mee met deze evolutie.

In dit tweede webinar in een serie van drie over waterstof staan we stil bij competenties die noodzakelijk zijn om de waterstof-(r)evolutie waar te kunnen maken. Willem Hazenberg geeft in dit webinar onder meer antwoord op de volgende vragen:
- Wat is het effect van de groeiende waterstofindustrie op de werkgelegenheid?
- Welke functies zijn er nodig en momenteel beschikbaar in de waterstofindustrie en -netwerken?
- Wat zijn de vereisten voor deze functies qua opleidingsniveau?
- Wat zijn de essentiële basiskennis, vaardigheden en specifieke competenties en hoe kunnen deze het meest effectief worden aangeleerd?
- Tot welke diepte moet men kennis hebben over waterstoftechnologie om een effectieve bijdrage aan de industrie te kunnen leveren?

The document discusses growing algae on nitrate-rich wastewater from Cambridge Water to reduce nitrate levels. Laboratory experiments found that several marine algae species could grow using nutrients from diluted brine wastewater. Larger scale experiments in photobioreactors confirmed one marine species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum, could effectively use nutrients from the wastewater. Future work involves optimizing growth of polar algae species and developing an innovation facility to further explore algal bioremediation applications.

This document summarizes research being conducted on seaweed cultivation for bioenergy. It discusses a pilot project in Strangford Lough that is testing different cultivation systems for Laminaria digitata seaweed. The research aims to develop sustainable cultivation and harvesting protocols. It involves monitoring the environment, growth of seaweed, and exploring integrated multi-trophic aquaculture to diversify products and reduce risks. The goal is to better understand how to cultivate seaweed as a sustainable source of biomass for bioenergy.
This presentation will outline the innovative processes and techniques we are using to capture the data, information and knowledge surrounding Algae cultivation in NWE Europe with a view to developing sophisticated decision support tools. These tools will enable stakeholders to explore current activities and potential opportunities in their region and understand the economic, environmental and legislative issues surrounding the cultivation of algae for energy.

The document summarizes a Zeetex seminar that took place on January 23rd, 2014 in Kortrijk, Belgium. The objective of Zeetex is to create a platform for developing innovative textile products for marine and maritime applications. There are four themes: safety, fishing/aquaculture, protection, and shipbuilding/sailing. Zeetex aims to detect opportunities for innovation, stimulate textile product development, and help connect companies, but does not provide direct funding. Services include free materials testing and assistance with partnerships, funding searches, and project proposals. The partners involved are Flanders Maritime Cluster, UP-tex, Aquimer, and Centexbel.
