About the research
Our world needs sustainable, robust, and cheap ways to produce energy. But replacing fossil fuels with renewable technologies that are cheap and can provide enough energy remains a challenge. Jose Maria Cuevas (Imec - KU Leuven - Energyville) is looking at a new sort of solar cell that will be cheap and yield much more energy than conventional solar cells: the *take a breath* 3 Terminal Tandem Bifacial Solar Cell.
Say what?! Jose breaks it down and makes it crystal clear for you in this video.

Fighting the southern green stink bug
We are facing a little green problem: the southern green stink bug, an insect from Ethiopia, is on the rise in our country. And that's bad news for our vegetable growers. Fortunately, Margot Geerinck is working on a solution. The protagonists: ichneumon wasps & fungi!

Let's cover our cars with solar panels
Do you own an electric car? Then you know how difficult it can be to find available charging spots. But what if we cover electric cars with solar panels so that they can charge themselves with the power of the sun? Well, that's not easy because conventional solar panels used on roofs can't be integrated into our cars. Electrical engineer Bin Luo is looking at new solar panels suitable for our cars.

What can science and policy learn from each other?
"Scientific information has to play a bigger role in the process of decision-making in policy." This is Ante Ivčević firm belief. In his research, he seeks to understand how policymakers make decisions and, more importantly, how we can get them to make these decisions based on scientific information. To investigate this, he researches science and policy regarding coastal areas in the Mediterranean basin.
