Stakeholder engagement to enhance risk communicationThe CME Cluster contributes to three research projects (Stability, LiveQuay and UBQ4) in the NWA Urban Bridges and Quay Wall Programme (Urbiquay). The programme is set up by the NWO (Dutch Research Council) and the Municipality of Amsterdam in collaboration with other stakeholders. It focuses on sustainable, innovative solutions relating to the management, repair and upgrading of inner-city bridges and quay walls in the Municipality of Amsterdam and, at the same time, contributing to the transferability of that knowledge to other cities or areas of application.Read more
NWO award for sand scarcity as new emerging crisis of global scaleMuch of the sand needed for coastal replenishment, land reclamation and construction is extracted from sandbanks in the sea. However, sand reserves in the North Sea around Belgium and Zeeland are depleting. Moreover, sea sand extraction threatens the stability of sandbanks and their associated ecology. The University of Twente's BANX project is developing computer models and data analysis techniques to improve the detection and understanding of the consequences of large-scale sand extraction in areas with sand scarcity. Sand scarcity is an emerging crisis on a global scale. BANX contributes to making marine sand extraction more sustainable.Read more
