Research projects

The Sport Good Governance Game (SG3) project consists of three parts: an awareness game, a workshop, and an action plan.                                                                                                                                                                

How has the Flemish coastal landscape evolved over the past 5000 years, both at sea and on land? Which areas were flooded and eroded during storm surges? What archaeological traces of past habitation and exploitation are preserved on land and in the sea?                          

During this project, an online learning platform is being developed where educational objectives related to digital competencies can be addressed.
