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
Facilitating learning chemistry with conceptual modellingA team of researchers and teachers from the University of Twente developed a novel teaching method that uses conceptual modelling to facilitate learning and foster creativity in classrooms of Chemical Science & Engineering students. The students tackled real-world problems related to sustainability.Read more
