The LIBBIO project is about researching the potential of Andes Lupin for breeding cropping and biorefinery. 14 partners from 8 different EU countries cooperate together. Hanze University of Applied Sciences is technical-scientific coordinator of this 5 mio€ project. Project duration is from 2016 to 2020

De gemeente Borger-Odoorn heeft een eigen werkwijze ontwikkeld om de transformatie in het sociaal domein vorm te geven. Deze werkwijze wordt opgehangen aan het ‘regenboogmodel’ en geeft richting aan de transformatie die nodig is na de decentralisaties van rijkstaken op het gebied van participatie, WMO en jeugd. Gemeente Borger Odoorn is in oktober 2014 gestart met een pilot met één sociaal team en heeft deze in januari 2015 uitgebreid door een Stichting Sociaal Team op te zetten waarbinnen 3 sociaal teams uitvoering geven aan de opdracht van de gemeente om de drie decentralisaties (jeugdzorg, AWBZ en Participatiewet) gezamenlijk en ontschot op te pakken. Deze aanpak is tot uitdrukking gebracht in het regenboogmodel. De gemeente en sociaal teams zijn de afgelopen twee jaar op expeditie geweest, zoals zij dit zelf benoemen. Nu is de vraag aan de werkplaats om te evalueren of de regenboogvisie nu wordt uitgevoerd zoals hij oorspronkelijk, in 2014, bedacht is. Dit is de samenvatting waarin uitkomsten en adviezen ook beschreven worden.

This paper introduces a design case that was built around the challenge to design a prototype for women that would positively influence their perception of personal safety in public spaces. The proposed design combines an individual focus with a public impact, influencing emotions through embodiment by introducing a necklace that reminds the wearer to walk straight and as a result, influence felt emotions such as confidence and prevent feelings of unsafety caused by slouching. In this paper, a prototype for wearable technology called PosturAroma is introduced: a fashionable necklace with a sensor that detects slouched body posture and reminds the user to stand straight by giving out a discrete scent.

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science.

The biomass demand for the use as both renewable energy source and raw material for the biotechnology industry is increasing. Simultaneously, the supply of biomass is requested to become more costcompetitive. Innovative solutions for cost-effective biomass production should also avoid indirect land use changes and direct negative environmental effects. The main aim of this study is to identify the most promising innovative lignocellulosic cropping systems regarding environmental sustainability as well as social acceptance for different cost scenarios and different regions in Europe. To gather innovative cropping knowledge from around Europe ADVANCEFUEL organized a workshop. Participating Horizon 2020 projects presenting innovative approaches onlignocellulosic cropping systems included: FORBIO, MAGIC, BECOOL, LIBBIO, GRACE, and SEEMLA. Data was collected from field studies of the participating projects prior to the workshop and later presented in an aggregated way as a basis for discussions. This approach incorporates the knowledge gained in over 60 study cases conducted in 12 different countries. Under these study cases, 16 different lignocellulosic crops were covered. This field based knowledge can be used to validate spatial assessments of sustainable biomass production potentials in Europe.
