Improving the Resilience of the Silicon Industry The RESiLEX project aims to improve the resilience of the silicon industry by developing technological solutions for the reuse of silicon, the recycling of photovoltaic (PV) modules and the design of new products. The GeMMe laboratory at the School of Engineering is involved in the process of recycling silicon and silver from solar panels. The Faculty of Sciences’ GREEnMat aims to use high-quality silicon from recycled PV modules to manufacture silicon-carbon (Si/C) composite powders as anode materials in Li-ion batteries (‘Pouch’ singlelayer cell). FIND OUT MORE Processed Fodder as an Alternative Source of Nutrients for Poultry This project by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is financing, via a Rwandan fund, a research grant aimed at determining whether fresh or processed fodder is likely to be a source of nutrients, in particular protein, for poultry. Depending on the results, the sector could see its need for soya meal (imports of which are a burden for importing countries and their farmers) reduced, which also has a major ecological impact at global level. Developing Sustainable Aquaculture Value Chains in Cambodia The Cambofish project of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine aims to improve the health and nutritional quality of aquaculture and fishery products. Cambofish is based on two types of innovation: the development of fish species with high nutritional value and improved product processing techniques (smoked and fermented fish). One of its aims is to contribute to the development of sustainable aquaculture value chains in Cambodia. FIND OUT MORE Algorithmic Detection of Corruption and Bid-rigging in Public Contracts This project by the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology analyses the promises and perils of using algorithmic behaviour detection methods and tools to award public contracts. The project proposes technical and non-technical solutions for deploying corruption-reducing tools while maintaining efficient, transparent administrative authorities that respect fundamental rights. 37 | ACTIVITY REPORT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT ULIÈGE | 2022 – 2023
