iFlux, a spin-off from the Faculty of Science and VITO, won the Water Resilience Challenge organised by the World Economic Forum in Davos. Start-ups were challenged to develop innovative solutions that strengthen the water resilience of infrastructure, agriculture, technology and energy systems, among other things. As our dependence on groundwater continues to increase, effective monitoring is essential for an effective water policy. iFlux's technology measures both the speed and direction of contamination in groundwater over a longer period of time. Goedele Verreydt (Department of Biology) is co-founder and CTO of iFLUX.

The book Arm Vlaanderen. Een wereldgeschiedenis &ndash; Honger, ziekte en globalisering in het midden van de 19de eeuw (in English: Poor Flanders. A world history &ndash; Hunger, disease and globalisation in the mid-19th century) by Professor Maarten Van Ginderachter (Faculty of Arts and Philosophy) receives five stars in De Standaard der Letteren and is called &ldquo;one of the best history books of the year&rdquo;. Sometime between 1845 and 1850, an acute crisis struck Flanders, a region roughly corresponding to the current provinces of West and East Flanders. In his book, the historian shows how this poverty was not a remnant of an archaic past, but rather the result of very modern and global processes. Together with Van Ginderachter, the reader is taken on a world tour of Peruvian islands, Indian plantations, American forests and Arabian desert plains.
