General Information
Lactobacili is a recently formed cultural association currently consisting of three board members. Up until now we have been partnering with individual artists and initiatives in places such as Spain, Palestine, Israel and Serbia. None of the groups we have worked with so far have been registered as a legal entity. We work a lot in sectors where informality is most common.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to make use of the flexibility of thought and inter-disciplinarity of contemporary art practices in order to confront the basic necessities of local community. Coming from the recent tradition of community based social arts, our main methodology involves an ongoing presence in public space, doing workshops and interventions which incorporate neighbours and local artists.

Main Projects / Activities

'Obrador aleatorio silvestre'- is a project involving the promotion of social interaction on a local level, using an open laboratory of culinary experimentation as it's main focal point. This project is still at a germination stage.
'Real-time documentary embroidery'- an ongoing collaboration with artist Vahida Ramujkic, using the act of embroidering in public space to bring people together and talk about neighbourhood situations. This project has intervened in Cairo, Bristol, Barcelona and Belgrade.

General Information
STRUCTURE: non-profit making association, directed by General meetig and board of Directors (see website for members), STAFF: 1 fulle time coordinator + 1/5 director BUDGETARY RESOURCES:in 2008: 122.025.00€ SOURCES OF FUNDING: Different authorities (Ministery of Culture Flemish and French Community, province of Antwerp, City of Lille, Ministery of Foreign Affairs) + private sponsering and funding MODALITIES OF ACTION: Concrete projects (collections and donations of instruments and trainingprogrammes) MAIN PARTNERS: Palestine: Music schools: Al-kamandjati (Ramallah), Nablus The Culture (Nablous), Music school of Gaza (Gaza) Israel:Orpheus Foundation (Nazareth) Mozambique: Escuela Nacional de Musica (Maputo) South Africa: Melodi Music Trust (Soweto) DRCongo: Institut National des Arts (Kinshasa)
Mission and Objectives

Music Fund provides material support to young musicians and music schools in developing countries and conflict areas.
We collect musical instruments, check them and repair them before distributing them. We also organise workshops and courses in instrument building and repair. The workshops take place in the regions where our partner schools are located and longer internships are held in Belgium in the workshops of instrument builders and repairers.
Thanks to Music Fund young musicians are given a chance to develop their musical talents. The different current and upcoming projects are a unique form of cultural development partnerships.

Main Projects / Activities

1. Collecting instruments: Music Fund’s first task is to collect instruments. In 2005 we organised the collections ourselves, but since the beginning of 2006 concert organisers in different European countries (France, Austria, Great Britain and Germany joined Belgium in this), take charge of this as part of concerts, festivals or other events.
The second phase is where the complex work begins: the instruments are collected, checked by experts and repaired and all details are carefully entered into a database.
2. Distributions: Around Christmas 2005 a first shipment of repaired instruments arrived in the Middle East by lorry. These musical instruments were then handed over in person to the different partner schools in Palestine (Gaza, Ramallah en Nablus) and Israel (Nazareth). Since then several large shipments have been organised in the Middle East and in Africa ( Mozambique + DRCongo)
3. Training:Since 2006 we have called in the help of a number of experts to set up initiation workshops in repairing, tuning and building musical instruments in the local music schools in South. This is a unique opportunity for Music Fund to complete a capacity building project that supports music education in a very concrete manner. Since 2006 we also provide longer internships in Belgium and at the partnerschools. Recently we also supported a student to obtain a diploma at a reputed school in France and will continue to offer other students this opportunity
4. Repair workshops in the partnerschools: In 2007 Music Fund started running repair workshops in several of its partner schools: in Ramallah in 2007 (in collaboration with other associations), in Maputo in 2007, in Nablus in 2008, and finally in Kinshasa in 2008. These repair workshops are an important part of our partnerships, because not only do they make it possible for the music schools to maintain their own musical instruments independently of Music Fund, they also create incomes as musicians from outside the music schools bring their instruments to these workshops for repair. They are an employment opportunity for people who have followed training courses in instrument repairs via Music Fund.

General Information
The IDM is a 'knowledge network' of scientific experts from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Ghent, together with external scientific experts of Ghent University or other universities. However, the Institute for Sustainable Mobility is a decentralized association, in which the departments operate as experts in solving problems of mobility. Ten researchers, equivalent of five full-time researchers, plus two voluntary researchers and a technical/administrative staff equivalent of two full time jobs. The Steering Committee (S) determines the policy of the Institute for Durable Mobility (IDM). The Institute is a part of the Ghent University, an autonomous nongovernmental institution with teaching and research as main tasks. The main partners of IDM are: MamMoeT,isaweb, the Belgian website on Road-safety and ISA, MOBIEL-UGent, Institute for permanent education, UGent, Kleurrijk Vlaanderen, Mobiel Vlaanderen, Mobile & Clean Technology, Verkeerskunde, Department Mobility and Urban Planning, Transport Technology.
Mission and Objectives

The engineer of the 21st century will be strongly confronted with the problems of mobility: at home, at work, in his/her patterns of transport, etc. He will be expected to come up with durable solutions, sustainable for the next generation. These solutions should meet all expectations regarding quality, safety, ecology, etc.
The problems of mobility pose new challenges to the engineer/applied sciences. These challenges are both in the field of technique/technology as in the field of spatial development. Technique and technology have contributed to our democratic society. The mobility questions ask for durable solutions which are sustainable for our society. It means creative and innovative entrepreneurship, starting at the university - the 'centre of knowledge' by excellence, where education and research meet.
The awareness that an integrated system (technical and social) is necessary in a global and regional environment, means that we have to work for with horizontal solutions for sustainable mobility.

Main Projects / Activities

Four main subjects can be distinguished:
1. Developing structured combinations of research: think about horizontal solutions on mobility - energy - clean technology.
2. The organisation of biennial training-cycles regarding mobility.
3. Developing internal quality-reinforcement regarding sustainable mobility solutions for staff, students and visitors at Ghent University.
4. The organisation of publicity-oriented activities regarding mobility (seminars, activities for the public and press).
Main projects:
1. 6th framework program on research (EU), technological development, Demonstration 2006- The integrated project "Hydra": From H2-blended fuel towards the ultimate H2-fuel - transition to the hydrogen economy. This project will start on 1 January 2006 and will run till 31 December 2009
2. Clean Technology for Public Transport (CTPT)
3. ISA, Intelligent Speed Adaptation (ISA) is the generic name for advanced systems in which the vehicle "knows" the speed limit and is capable of using that information to give feedback to the driver or limit maximum speed.
