Pilots & Innovation

Innovative measurement techniques and other smart solutions to improve the long-term time series programs and the accessibility of data. Investigating options for coastal defence like flood risks, experimental studies such as salting cultivation between dikes, effects of blue energy and other challenges.

Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality
Innovation | Combining ecological models with 3D computer graphics techniques can be used to reveal natural ecosystems that are normally hidden from view.
REDstack
REDstack
Experiment | In Breezanddijk, in the Dutch Wadden Sea, a trial plant is being used to get acquainted with this new way of generating energy.
Double Dyke mariculture
Double Dyke mariculture
Pilot | A study under several design scenarios on the development of aquaculture and saline agriculture in the Double Dyke area.
FAST
FAST
Innovation | Sea level rise, climate change and increasing coastal populations, demands innovative approaches towards coastal management.
All-Risk
All-Risk
Innovation | The aim is to address key knowledge gaps in order to implement the new risk standards in the Dutch flood protection program.
Benthic Metabarcoding
Benthic Metabarcoding
Innovation | With the metabarcoding methods, research questions will be tackled where the present traditional taxonomic identifications are infeasible.
Brackish Pearl
Brackish Pearl
Study | Exploring the possibilities of cockle mariculture and investigating optimal conditions for profitable cultivation on saline agricultural land.
DMEC
DMEC
Study | NIOZ is partner in the Dutch Marine Energy Centre (DMEC)-project which brings together a wide range of marine energy expertise.
Smartsediment
Smartsediment
Innovation | Evaluating different management strategies currently being executed in the Scheldt estuary and Oosterschelde.
Field flume studies
Field flume studies
Innovation | Developing a series of field flumes to answer new research questions on the functioning and stability of intertidal and sub-tidal ecosystems.
INNOPRO
INNOPRO
Pilot | Experimental studies to gain process-based knowledge in how spatial heterogeneity in the mussel bed environment affects growth & survival.
BE-SAFE
BE-SAFE
Building with Nature | Promising solutions for flood protection, such as vegetated foreshores, inherently have a dynamic nature.

New website for NIOZ

This year we are going to redesign and technically improve the NIOZ website. We would like to take your opinion as website visitor into account.

By answering 10 questions you can help us enormously! It will take you no longer than 4 minutes. You can win a NIOZ t-shirt and a book voucher to the value of EUR 25 if you fill in the questions.

Thank you for your help!

No, sorry! Yes! I'll help out!
