Hadjisotiriou, Sophie (author), Marchau, V.A.W.J. (author), Walker, W.E. (author), Rikkert, Marcel Olde (author)Policymakers around the world were generally unprepared for the global COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the virus has led to millions of cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths. Theoretically, the number of cases and deaths did not have to happen (as demonstrated by the results in a few countries). In this pandemic, as in other great disasters,...journal article 2023

van Dorsser, Cornelis (author), Taneja, P. (author), Walker, W.E. (author), Marchau, V.A.W.J. (author)Policymakers need to make policies for an uncertain future, and policy analysts assist policymakers in choosing preferred courses of action. Despite a longstanding recognition that the futures field can contribute a great deal to policy analysis, futures work is not used to its full potential as an element of policy analysis. This is partly due...journal article 2020

van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Duijff, R. (author), Reinstra, Otto (author)Due to an increased food production the demand for nitrogen and phosphorus as fertilizers grows. Nitrogen based fertilizers are produced with the Haber-Bosch process through industrial fixation of N2 into ammonia. Through wastewater treatment the nitrogen is finally released back to the atmosphere as N2 gas. This nitrogen cycle is characterized...book chapter 2019

Gil, Gustavo (author), Savino, Giovanni (author), Piantini, Simone (author), Baldanzini, Niccolò (author), Happee, R. (author), Pierini, Marco (author)Objective: Motorcycle riders are involved in significantly more crashes per kilometer driven than passenger car drivers. Nonetheless, the development and implementation of motorcycle safety systems lags far behind that of passenger cars. This research addresses the identification of the most effective motorcycle safety solutions in the...journal article 2017

van der Hoek, J.P. (author), de Fooij, Heleen (author), Struker, André (author)Resources are becoming scarce. Therefore, reuse of resources is becoming more and more attractive. Wastewater can be used as a resource, since it contains many resources like organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, heavy metals, thermal energy, etc. This study focused on the reuse of organic matter and phosphorus from Amsterdam’s wastewater. There...journal article 2016

Hamarat, C. (author), Pruyt, E. (author), Loonen, E.T. (author)Adaptivity is essential for dynamically complex and uncertain systems. Adaptive policymaking is an approach to design policies that can be adapted over time to how the future unfolds. It is crucial for adaptive policymaking to specify under what conditions and how to adapt the policy. The performance of adaptive policy is critically depended on...conference paper 2013

Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Walker, W.E. (author), Ter Maat, J. (author)A new paradigm for planning under conditions of deep uncertainty has emerged in the literature. According to this paradigm, a planner should create a strategic vision of the future, commit to short-term actions, and establish a framework to guide future actions. A plan that embodies these ideas allows for its dynamic adaptation over time to meet...journal article 2013

Walker, W.E. (author), Haasnoot, M. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author)There is increasing interest in long-term plans that can adapt to changing situations under conditions of deep uncertainty. We argue that a sustainable plan should not only achieve economic, environmental, and social objectives, but should be robust and able to be adapted over time to (unforeseen) future conditions. Large numbers of papers...journal article 2013

Hamarat, C. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Pruyt, E. (author)The recent flu pandemic in 2009 caused a panic about the possible consequences due to deep uncertainty about an unknown virus. Overstock of vaccines or unnecessary social measures to be taken were all due to uncertainty. However, what should be the necessary actions to take in such deeply uncertain situation where there is no or very little...conference paper 2012

Hamarat, C. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Pruyt, E. (author)Uncertainty manifests itself in almost every aspect of decision making. Adaptive and flexible policy design becomes crucial under uncertainty. An adaptive policy is designed to be flexible and can be adapted over time to changing circumstances and unforeseeable surprises. A crucial part of an adaptive policy is the monitoring system and...conference paper 2012
