Artificial Intelligence to Detect Discriminatory Bias The Neutr-IA project of the Faculty of Law, Political Science and Criminology proposes a legal interpretation of the discriminatory biases that emerge when artificial intelligence-based tools are used in recruitment, from a gender perspective. The aim is to analyse whether existing legislation, or legislation currently being drafted, can be used to thwart and correct the pitfalls of these new practices. Optimising Pest Control Tools As part of the agro-ecological transition and the protection of biodiversity, the EU-funded ADOPT IPM project at Gembloux Agro Bio Tech is optimising existing integrated pest management (IPM) tools and software packages and creating new ones with a view to controlling harmful organisms. FIND OUT MORE Restoring Anthropogenic Patches in Posidonia Meadows The Faculty of Sciences’ REPAIR thesis project aims to test different environmentally-friendly substrates for stabilising and restoring anthropogenic intermats (sandy gaps) created by large yachts anchoring in Posidonia meadows. This study is crucial to finding cost-effective, efficient stabilisation and restoration techniques and to determining the appropriate areas in the Mediterranean Sea where restoration actions could be launched. It is all the more important as seagrass beds are also some of the most effective natural carbon sinks in the world. FIND OUT MORE A Study on the Controlled Recharge of Aquifers The MARWAL (Managed Aquifer Recharge for the aquifers of WALlonia) project at the School of Engineering is looking at the issue of temporary storage of water in aquifers for later use, with a view to combating droughts. In order to anticipate the medium- and long-term consequences of climate change, this project aims to assess the feasibility of controlled groundwater recharge.
