The sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) has rarely been used as an urban tree to date. In the course of climate change, it is likely to be a ‘winner’ on the northern side of the Alps (Zimmermann et al. 2014). It also has various characteristics that make it interesting as an urban tree species. Due to its ...

The aim of the project is to collect important key figures for both the Zippsafe company and hospitals by carrying out applied accompanying research, which prove the savings of the introduction of Zipp & Scan. In addition, further market potential is to be determined by means of the case study based on the ...

The project aims to develop a Farmers' Happiness Index with smallholder coffee and tea farmers in Sri Lanka and India using a participatory approach. This tool will systematically assess the factors that influence farmers' well-being and help policy makers focus on areas where improvements are needed. The final ...

A pioneering urban neighbourhood is to be created in Viererfeld/Mittelfeld in the city of Bern. The large residential and commercial area is to be sustainable and pioneering in terms of ecological standards, with mixed-use housing and mobility also playing an important role. The aim of the project is to develop the ...

We are developing a cutting-edge Deep Learning model tailored to efficiently classify Orthoptera (grasshoppers) sounds captured by smartphones in outdoor settings. This advancement promisesrapid and sustainable biodiversity monitoring through citizen science initiatives.

The objective of the project is to develop a process that has the potential to result in more efficient cleaning of glass containers labeled with self-adhesive labels. This should lead to more resource-efficient and cost-effective washing processes. The aim is to increase the share of containers in the circular ...

Biodiversity loss and water scarcity are increasing at an unprecedented rate. Small and large companies in agriculture, extractive and other industrial sectors have the greatest negative impact on ecosystems and water. Governments, international regulators, trade associations, non-governmental organizations and the ...

In the frame of this project the aroma-active compounds will be investigated in selected hemp varieties by means of the Sensomics methodologies. Further quantification assays will be developed allowing the fast quantification of important hemp odorants.  

Inthis 3RCC-funded project, we aim to reduce the number of rodents employed forthe screening of novel antimicrobials using a zebrafish larval model ofbacterial infections. We will set up live microscopic imaging readouts tomonitor bacterial spread in  zebrafishlarvae and will use the model to screen ...

LIBAL’s Smart Building Information Service (SBIS) platform uses AI for the smart collection, automatic categorisation, handover and search for information in BIM projects.
