General TZ2024TEA570A103 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Most Tanzanian students in rural settings and those with disabilities fail to receive quality education. This leads to poor performance in STEM subjects, and slim chances to pursue STEM careers. Nevertheless, digital technologies are globally used to improve access to quality education. Thus, Mzumbe University and Ghent University aim to establish a centre for research on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance children’s learning experiences and career chances in STEM.

General PE2024TEA559A101 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Small dairy farmers, who make up 90% of Peru's total dairy producers, face a significant threat to sustainability. The project aims to improve production efficiency and ensure that they are not left behind in the pursuit of development. To do so, the project aims specifically (i) to co-create a digital platform for automated data collection and analysis for making strategic decisions suited to the average characteristics of small dairy farms and (ii) to strengthen local partners’ capacities to develop and implement technological solutions based…

General CD2024TEA544A101 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Cultural heritage is increasingly recognized as a crucial resource for communities to deepen their knowledge of and connection to their past and cultural identity. From this vision, Archival (Re)connections aspires to connect archives in Belgium and DR Congo, document local forms of (im)material heritage, and enhance the public accessibility of this (re)collected and (re)connected heritage to researchers, students and the broader public in Limete, Kinshasa. To this end, it will establish a partnership between Belgian en Congolese partners and…

General TZ2022TEA529A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 This project aims to improve livelihoods, biodiversity and carbon sequestration in the mountainous environments of Northern Tanzania by building climate-smart, resilient and inclusive farming systems using indigenous trees. Moreover, we aim to improve the situation for vulnerable groups, in casu single headed households and special needs groups, by restoring ecosystem services and by improving and diversifying agroforestry production. The project is inspired by the outcomes of the VLIR-UOS SI LiveLabLink project and will strengthen research and…

General CU2022SIN332A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 Information systems are present in every aspect of life. This kind of systems achieve integrated representations of phenomena that happen in the real world or in a domain. In conceptual modelling practitioners have been focused on static aspects whereas dynamic aspects have been less formalized. There is a need to improve the capabilities of business analyst in the conceptual modelling field. This project aims to strengthen the efficiency of Cuban software industry to contribute to the development of software applications and management…

General PE2024TEA560A105 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Metallic pollutants in Peruvian mining areas pose severe threats to ecosystems and public health, particularly child development. Ineffective regulation and monitoring, compounded by centralized detection techniques, exacerbate the problem. This project addresses these challenges by developing cost-effective biotechnological tools for a decentralized environmental monitoring. A consortium of six partner institutions, three from Peru and three from Belgium will establish and implement a pipeline for heavy-metal responsive biosensors, including…

General ZA2024TEA569A102 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes 1.3 million deaths per year worldwide, with South Africa’s burden intensified by the risks of HIV co-infection. The burden of vaccine-preventable HBV in South Africa has not been accurately determined, complicating the tracking of progress against the goals of elimination of Agenda 2030. We will adopt a modeling framework to estimate the burden of HBV disease more accurately and assess the (cost-)effectiveness of prevention strategies while accounting for HBV and HIV co-infection. The latter increases, for example…

General CU2022TEA501A102 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 Due to global warming and increased sun exposure, skin cancer has a high incidence and increasing prevalence within the Cuban population. An extract obtained from the local marine plant Thalassia testudinum, rich in polyphenols, has shown effective photoprotection properties and antitumor activity against skin cancer. Until now, the extract production implicates the collection of the species from its natural habitat. However, such approach may endanger biodiversity and eco-sustainability as T. testudinum (known as turtle paste) nurtures other…

General BI2022SIN328A102 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 Burundi’s constitution guarantees a set of fundamental rights to its citizens, but in practice awareness and protection of these rights are often lacking. To close this gap, this project seeks to promote a constitutional culture among legal professionals, students, civil society, public institutions, and Burundi’s citizenry. The focus is on women’s rights. The project strategy is based on 3 pillars. (1) The research component intends to valorize the partner promoter’s PhD (Dr. Pacifique Niyonizigiye, PhD Univ of Antwerp, October 2021; funded by…

General KE2023SIN389A104 01/09/2023 - 31/08/2025 In this project, we tackle real-life challenges faced by Kenyan rural communities due to climate change. The impact of global warming is first felt in the poorest regions in the world, where increased extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and intermittent drought cause immense pressure on the socio-economic stability and food security of the population. Using existing datasets and the bio-informatics lab present at JKUAT University (built in the previous VLIR-UOS funded BIRD project), together with the elaborate network of farmers…
