We maken op grote schaal steeds meer gebruik van digitale middelen en mogelijkheden in het onderwijs; de leeromgeving is digitaal, we toetsen digitaal, we communiceren digitaal en we ontwikkelen steeds meer digitale lesmaterialen. Kortom: onderwijs digitaliseert. Met de toename van digitale lesmaterialen, …

Sustainability transitions are not hindered by technological barriers but above all by the lack of well-qualified people. Educating the next generation of engineers and product designers is therefore more important than ever. However, a traditional widely used model of instruction and evaluation is not …

The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …

De Gemeente Groningen heeft in maart 2023 het Kenniscentrum NoorderRuimte van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen de opdracht gegeven voor het uitvoeren van een verkenning naar het aanbod aan werklocaties voor creatieve en innovatieve bedrijvigheid in de gemeente. Deze verkenning richt zich primair op het aanbod …

Internetpionier Ethan Zuckerman zat begin 2018 in zak en as over de staat van het internet. Na de Brexit, de verkiezing van Trump en het Cambridge Analytica-schandaal was de maatschappij klaar met het web. Zuckerman had één hoop om het internet weer gezond te krijgen: de Europese publieke omroepen. Geïnspireerd …

Underutilised charging stations can be a bottleneck in the swift transition to electric mobility. This study is the first to research cooperative behaviour at public charging stations as a way to address improved usage of public charging stations. It does so by viewing public charging stations as a common-pool …

This study used historical data from a Park & Ride facility in Amsterdam to build a validated computer (Python) model to optimize battery and grid connection sizing. The case study modelled is equipped with 8 EV chargers (16 connections), an on-site supplementary battery, and a limited capacity grid …

In the last two decades, co-creation and social innovation have become important concepts in academic research and public policy. The two concepts are conceptually linked, but this relationship has hardly been problematized in academic literature. In addition, social innovation and especially co-creation …

The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The growing presence of charging points generates a multitude of interactions between EV users, particularly in metropolitan areas where a charging infrastructure is largely part of the public domain. There …
