Projects
Protein of Columbus
A new project for the Biobased Resources & Energy research group at MNEXT. The project, named "Protein of Columbus," contributes to the protein transition, aiming to shift from animal- to more plant-based protein production. This project focuses on optimizing the use of by-products generated during the cultivation of protein-rich crops, with the goal of establishing a realistic revenue model for various stakeholders in the chain.
BIO-CAPPP
Ontwikkeling van bio-aromaten - duurzame, chemische bouwstenen - en toepassingen in producten voor onder andere de bouw- en textielsector. Het gebruik van deze bio-aromaten maakt de producten niet alleen duurzamer, maar geeft ze ook premium eigenschappen. Op deze manier draagt BIO-CAPPP bij aan de overgang naar een circulaire economie.
Energy Education
Energy(k) Education is a border region project that will recruit, train, retrain and upskill young people and adults for professions to enable the energy transition. More and skilled (energy) technical personnel at all levels of education is increasingly becoming a bottleneck. The type of personnel needed will also change significantly in the coming years. There is a need for broadening skills and learning digital competencies, this project contributes to this.

Whitepaper: Nature-Inclusive Principles
Urbanization is a significant cause of climate change, biodiversity loss, and greenhouse gas emissions. Nature-inclusive area development can counteract this, but it is still taking place on too small a scale to have a real impact. Over the past two years, MNEXT, in collaboration with other universities of applied sciences and stakeholders, has conducted research on principles to accelerate this transition. The main results have been neatly compiled in a whitepaper: Nature-Inclusive Principles.

MycEoLA: a second life for mycelium biocomposites
The "MycEoLA" project originated from a question in the field: "What can we do with mycelium biocomposites after their use?" Over the next 2 years, this project is jointly conducted by the MNEXT Biobased Building professorship. It focuses on investigating end-of-life scenarios suitable for mycelium biocomposites, with the ultimate goal of achieving circularity and reducing waste.
