PACE (Pregnancy And Childhood Epigenetics Consortium). This is a consortium involving 39 studies world- wide with genome-wide DNA methylation data from pregnancy, newborn or childhood samples.

EXPOsOMICS is a collaborative project with a multinational team that aims to predict individual disease risk related to the environment, by developing a new approach to environmental exposure and health assessment during critical periods of life.

EndoAfrica consists of partners from South Africa, Austria and Belgium and aims to determine whether HIV-infection and ART are associated with altered cardiovascular risk and changes in vascular endothelial structure and function in adults living in the Western Cape Province of South Africa.

NORM4BUILDING: The EU COST Action Norm4building that aims at stimulating the responsible reuse of NORM residues in building materials. It comprises partners from 26 European countries.

The Blue Cluster aims to be the preferred partner for companies that want to develop innovative activities and roll out their expertise in the sustainable blue economy.

LTER (Long Term Ecological Research Network). LTER-Europe was launched in 2003 as the umbrella network for Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) in Europe. It's members are national networks operating a wide range of research and monitoring sites as well as larger platforms for socio-ecological research.

The Copernicus Alliance is a European Network on Higher Education for Sustainable Development.

BASTA: CMK has initiated the broad and multidisciplinary Flemish consortium on biochar production from numerous biomass feedstocks and suitable applications.

Klankbordgroep Biomassa: The Biomass Sounding Board was founded more than 10 years ago by the Environmental Economics research group within the CMK and is currently jointly lead by UHasselt, VITO and UAntwerp. The Board meets three times a year, with the aim of bringing together supply and demand of local (region Flanders/Wallonia/The Netherlands/Germany) biomass feedstocks in a smart way and strengthening the complementarity between current projects.

This Scientific Research Network funded by FWO FLanders aims to boost and facilitate the development of climate change law as an autonomous field of legal studies in the EU and Flanders (Belgium). Partners are Hasselt University, Gent University, Antwerp University, University of Eastern Finland, University of Copenhagen, Strathclyde University Centre for Environmental Law and Governance, and the Centre for Climate Law and Sustainability Studies

In order to guarantee and enhance public health, the Council draws up scientific advisory reports that aim at providing guidance to political decision-makers and health professionals. Thanks to its network of experts and in-house staff, the Council produces impartial and independent advisory reports that are based on a multidisciplinary assessment of the state of the art of science. The Council formulates these advisory reports on request or on its own initiative and publishes them.

Scientists working at field stations and marine laboratories strive to understand natural processes at every scale, from the molecular to the global, from milliseconds to eons. The mission of the Organization of Biological Field Stations (OBFS) is to help member stations increase their effectiveness in supporting critical research, education, and outreach programs. We pursue this goal in a manner that maximizes diversity, inclusiveness, sustainability, and transparency.
