Integration of agent-based modeling (ABM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proposed and applied as an approach to leverage the complementary strengths of both methods in assessing sustainability impacts within complex socio-technical systems. However, the existing literature has focused primarily …

The Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) has been widely used to conceptualise changes in how individuals experience cultural difference, typically described as a progression from ethnocentric toward ethnorelative orientations. While the model’s value is considerable, its common interpretation …

In het project Curious Ears is onderzocht hoe studenten op het conservatorium geleerd kan worden om meer ruimte te bieden in de muzieklessen die zij geven. Vijf conservatoriumstudenten, actief op verschillende instrumenten en binnen verschillende genres, hebben hiervoor een keuzemodule gevolgd die gericht …

Forecasting the thermal behavior of flexible heating assets is essential for real-time energy management in heating systems. While thermal dynamics are complex, the optimization algorithms within energy management systems (EMS) require low-order models with minimal computational load to make rapid, real-time …

Keynote over een dynamische visie op talent met daarin een aantal inzichten over ontwikkeling, bedoeld voor (potentiële) conservatorium studenten. De belangrijkste daarvan: talent is geen eigenschap van een persoon, maar een situatie.

Traditional non-linear models offer Dutch municipalities limited insight into the social behaviour of local stakeholders, even though this behaviour largely determines the success of policies in complex sociotechnical systems. This study addresses the following research question: “How can an agent-based …

Lezing over leerecosystemen op de inspiratiesessie Rijke Schooldag in Tilburg, georganiseerd door Meer Muziek in de Klas.

Complex eHealth interventions—featuring multiple components within dynamic systems—are used for healthcare improvement. Public–private partnerships (PPPs), combining resources, expertise, and technology, are crucial in this context. Yet, integrating these interventions into practice remains challenging. …

The energy transition requires engineers who can reason about complex renewable energy systems, diagnose faults, and work collaboratively in dynamic environments. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is widely recognized for supporting such competencies, yet many engineering courses lack authentic contexts that …
