Bombs and shells: remnants of the past
The Blue Cluster focuses on efficient and sustainable forms of fishing and aquaculture, and explores the potential of marine resources. Within that context, we conduct research into the cultivation of mussels, oysters and seaweed, among other things. We are also looking at the possibilities of constructing sea farms.
Projects in the spotlight
SWiM
In progress
Over the past decades, Belgium has built a strong reputation in the development of offshore wind energy. Now the country also wants to play a leading role in the development of offshore solar energy. The partners in the SWiM project rise up to the challenge.
Bankbusters
In progress
Billions of cubic metres are dredged every year to keep ports and rivers accessible. This material is usually considered a worthless waste product, but it can potentially play a role in the restoration of our eroded tidal zones and help improve our local ecosystem services. Bankbusters explores these aspects in detail.
AlgaeVALOR
In progress
The by-products of seaweed processing are often considered waste and are incinerated. The AlgaeVALOR project aims to convert these residual flows into valuable products. In this way, the partners in this international project help build a circular economy.
