Hofbauer, B. (author)The paper explores how the framework of systemic risks can help govern the risks imposed through solar climate engineering research. The central argument is that a systemic perspective of risk is a useful tool for analysing and assessing the risks imposed through Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) research. SAI is a form of climate...journal article 2023

Rooij, R.M. (author), Bossen, R.H. (author)In this paper, we take the position that teaching engineering itself is a design science. Engineering educators worldwide creatively design, implement, and evaluate new ways of teaching to facilitate the learning of their students and to respond to various societal challenges. Sadly, their teaching and course design discoveries often remain with...conference paper 2023

Copeland, S.M. (author), Hinrichs-Krapels, S. (author), Fecondo, Federica (author), Santizo, Esteban Ralon (author), Bal, Roland (author), Comes, M. (author)BACKGROUND: Prompted by recent shocks and stresses to health systems globally, various studies have emerged on health system resilience. Our aim is to describe how health system resilience is operationalised within empirical studies and previous reviews. We compare these to the core conceptualisations and characteristics of resilience in a...journal article 2023

Van Rheenen, E.S. (author), Scheffers, E.L. (author), Zwaginga, J.J. (author), Visser, K. (author)It is essential to use alternative fuels if we are to reach the emission reduction targets set by the IMO. Hydrogen carriers are classified as zero-emission, while having a higher energy density (including packing factor) than pure hydrogen. They are often considered as safe alternative fuels. The exact definition of what safety entails is often...journal article 2023
