The granting of a cessation benefit is often a precursor to a dismissal. The five Radboud projects that were allocated this time did not only originate from the field of science and medicine; There is also an award for innovation in the social sciences (Yvonne van den Berg’s chair dance project).

In the fall round of 2022, it has a total of 47 projects AwardedFunding has been awarded for the following Radboud projects:

dance chair – Yvonne van den Berg
the dance chair It is a free online tool to monitor and promote social safety in the school. The current beta version was launched in 2016 and has quickly grown to an unexpected number of nearly 14,000 users. Unfortunately, the tool seems to be giving up on its success, due to the increasing national (international) demand and the lack of financial and human resources. So a take-off feasibility study is used to test whether a commercial and optimized version of De Stoeltjesdans is feasible to create a startup. All this to further enhance the social safety of our children.

PiCard – Quantum Information Devices – Britta Redlich

PiCard Systems is a startup focused on developing quantum devices that provide quantum computing infrastructure support, and the first device to do so is the π-card. Quantum computing is a rapidly maturing field, which does not yet have complementary supporting hardware infrastructure, such as storage. Changing this means tackling complex problems. The π-Card aims to explore this need using a unique combination of silicon technology, FIR optics, and cryoscience.

Novel trans-cyclocatins for diagnostic applications. Flores Rutges
The goal of this project is to develop novel diagnostic tests based on the interaction of smart click with cyclocytamine cross-reacting molecules. The trick to this reaction is that clicking two molecules together in this case causes another molecule to be released, which opens up a whole host of new diagnostic tests.

Development of diabetes treatments – Thomas Bolt

Every human cell is covered in complex sugar structures called glycans. Many cancers have increased expression of certain glycans, which is associated with their aggressiveness and metastasis. This project is investigating whether targeting these glycans has therapeutic potential. By doing this, we may be able to cripple the cancer’s ability to grow and spread.

Constance – Marcel Van Gerven
Existing AI systems consume a lot of energy while learning new tasks because this learning takes place in large centralized computing clusters. The aim of this project is to demonstrate how new algorithms inspired by the brain can enable us to make this learning more efficient and to apply it in implanted Systems that do not use mainframe computing clusters. This technology allows AI systems to be trained in a more energy-efficient manner and to enable learning in situations where people are unable or unwilling to use mainframe computing clusters.
