Main responsible: Leading dean is Dorothea van de Meulen Professor that is representing Research Centre for the Built Environment in STARS EU is dr. Elles Bulder, professor Living environment in Transition.

Category of the service: Research center.

Target group: The professors of our research centre focus on stakeholders from the quintuple helix: government, businesses, NGO’s, knowledge centres including education, citizens and ecosystems. Our prime focus is on the Northern Netherlands but we are all also involve.

Scientific refence:

Her research focusses on the interactions between humans and their living environment (=liveability) given the major transitions of our time. The perceived quality of life in neighbourhoods, villages and regions, is central to this as is broad welfare som

Offer description:

NoorderRuimte, Research Centre for Built Environment, performs practice-oriented research into the built environment of the Northern Netherlands. We focus on the themes earthquakes, liveability, sustainability, and health and wellbeing. As a partner in research projects we can add practice-oriented research into the built environment of the Northern Netherlands with a focus on themes like earthquakes, liveability, sustainability, and health and wellbeing. All from a rural and an urban context and from the point of view of stakeholders from the quintuple helix like government, businesses, NGO’s, knowledge centres including education, citizens and ecosystems.

Offer description:

The water sector needs a paradigm shift from a focus on water treatment and supply, collection and from focusing on the treatment and supply of water, the collection and treatment of wastewater to meet discharge limits, and the processing of the wastes from these operations, to focus on integrated management that waste from these operations, and to focus instead on integrated management that enables a circular water economy with minimal emissions. This change of vision means that the traditional “wastewater treatment plants” are now seen as “water resource recovery and regeneration centres”. From a technological point of view, new developments developments should focus on process intensification, resource recovery and the design of systems that resource recovery and the design of systems that allow high effluent qualities with minimum of emissions, or even achieving carbon neutrality.

Examples of such new technologies include advanced anaerobic digestion processes, such as advanced anaerobic digestion processes developed in membrane bioreactors, the biological removal of nutrients by means of granular biomass (a process commercially known as Nereda®), the removal of ammonium by partial nitrification followed by a partial nitrification following an anammox process or photobiological systems, based on microalgae and cyanobacteria.

Microalgae can remove nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter from wastewater and transform it into biomass. In this regard, the joint use of bacteria and microalgae for wastewater treatment has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. Microalgae-based wastewater treatments have emerged in recent years as a potential substitute for conventional treatments, due to their economic and environmental sustainability.
