Design and research are two fields of knowledge that each has its traditions, methods, standards and practices. These two worlds appear to be quite separate, with researchers investigating what exists, and designers visualising what could be. This book builds a bridge between both worlds by showing how …

In this masterclass, Suzanne Klein-Gebbink, program manager of Circular Living Lab Food Valley and Lector Eric de Bruin from Aeres explain about food waste in practice: when is food wasted, why we should reduce it and how value can be created from food waste using the ladder of Lansink, which shows …

A major target of the European Green Deal is to raise the 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction target to 55% compared to 1990. This high ambition includes an increase of the energy performance of buildings and additional generation of renewable energy in all sectors. The tertiary sector, including …

The construction sector is increasingly interested in circular and biobased material alternatives to achieve the necessary CO2 reduction. And given the fact that raw materials are running out and environmental problems are the order of the day, this is also necessary. Mycelium, the ‘underground network …

The ultimate ambition of Pieter Pot is to make circular grocery packaging the standard quo in Europe. They want to establish Pieter Pot as an authority and expert in waste-free groceries. The first milestone in achieving this mission is to break even at 50.000 monthly orders. One of Pieter Pot's obstacles …

Organizations are currently facing substantial challenges regarding becoming circular by 2050 – also referred to as Circular Economy (CE). Subsequently, increasing complexity on all organizational levels creates uncertainty about respective organizational and technological capabilities and adequate strategies …

The goal of this thesis is achieving saturation intensity of 76.5 mW/cm2for 2S1/2F=1 - 2P1/2F = 2 transition in singly-ionized beryllium ions (Be+). By enlarging the optical power of a laser diode at 626.266 nm via a bow-tie cavity and converting to 313.133 nm using Second Harmonic Generation in a nonlinear …

This full paper works towards merging ‘frugality’ and ‘design thinking’ into a simplified framework for a workshop routine as a stepping stone for SMEs in developed countries to create and capture value of frugal innovations. Innovations which are born out of the notion that we can do more with less, …
