Inventaris van het archief van het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken : Dienst Vreemdelingenzaken : Dienst Grensinspectie (1832-1999)
No full textOver the twentieth century, Belgium shifted from a nation of emigration to a destination for growing numbers of newcomers. Wars, economic crises, and European integration shaped this evolution. Key turning points included the reintroduction of passports after 1919, the 1974 recruitment stop, and the advent of Schengen’s open borders, each prompting new rules on admission and conditions for entry. This inventory traces how migration policy and border management adapted to changing realities. It demonstrates how migration moved from an exceptional occurrence to a persistent structural element of Belgian society. Over time, these shifts reshaped national institutions and public debate significantly.The records described in this inventory are held at the National Archives of Belgium (Brussels) (inventory code 510 – I 727).This inventory is the frozen published version dated 31-10-2025.

Inventaris van het archief van de Intercommunale Maatschappij voor Gas en Elektriciteit van het Westen (Gaselwest) en rechtsvoorgangers (1904 – 2000)
No full textDit archief vertelt het verhaal van bijna twee eeuwen energievoorziening in West- en Oost-Vlaanderen. Van de eerste gasverlichting door Desclée et Cie. tot de oprichting van Gaselwest in 1975, bundelt het archief de geschiedenis van private pioniers en gemengde intercommunales zoals Interwest, Interleie, Inelgas en Interoost. Bestuursnotulen, dossiers en uitzonderlijk goed bewaard oorlogsmateriaal tonen hoe gemeenten, bedrijven en overheden samen zochten naar efficiënte en betaalbare energie. Het archief, vandaag bewaard in het Rijksarchief Kortrijk, is vrij raadpleegbaar en biedt onmisbaar inzicht in de modernisering van België.The records described in this inventory are held at the State Archives in Kortrijk (inventory code 516 - 621).This inventory is the fixed published version dated 19-12-2025.

No full textThe Belgian barcoding facility for organisms and tissues of policy concern
No full textThe Barcoding Facility for Organisms and Tissues of Policy Concern (BopCo) acts as a focal point for identifying biological materials upon request, by providing access to the expertise and infrastructure necessary to identify organisms of policy concern and their derived products. BopCo s identification service is available to all stakeholders who deal with such material and who need accurate species identifications. These can rely on (i) traditional morphology-based approaches employing the taxonomic expertise and specimen collections at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS) and the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) and/or (ii) on DNA-based techniques like DNA-barcoding, qPCR, RFLP, eDNA, microsatellites or third generation sequencing technologies for which BopCo has access to fully equipped laboratories at both RBINS and RMCA. A prerequisite to using DNA-based techniques, however, is the availability of comprehensive and reliable reference barcode libraries. Therefore, BopCo also contributes to improving DNA-barcode databases of taxa of policy concern by producing new DNA-barcodes, which are made publicly available, and evaluates existing DNA-barcodes for their utility. Examples displaying the taxonomic diversity, stakeholder range, policy concern issues and utilised techniques will be presented

No full textEmpowering communities through citizen science and participatory action research: implementation of a schistosomiasis communication campaign in Uganda
No full textSchistosomiasis is a water-related disease strongly linked with high-risk water and sanitation practices perpetuating disease transmission. In Uganda, despite health education and sensitisation efforts through communication campaigns by the Ministry of Health to reduce schistosomiasis prevalence, common risky practices still pose a challenge, especially among endemic communities. Here, we steered away from the conventional top-down approach to communication campaigns and explored alternative methods. We employed citizen science (CS) and other participatory action research (PAR) techniques as a bottom-up approach to co-design and implement a communication campaign among communities of western Uganda, to achieve a more tangible outcome of behaviour change for preventing schistosomiasis. We collected qualitative data using data party, world cafe, prioritisation and ranking, focus group discussion, and key informant interviews from 378 purposively selected individuals and analysed it using a thematic analysis model. Community volunteers, community radios and local leaders were the most preferred channels for passing schistosomiasis information identified by participants. Lack of access to safe water and healthcare services, open defecation, and inadequate knowledge of schistosomiasis are some of the most pressing problems prioritised. Door-to-door visits by citizen scientists (CSs), community meetings, drama, and tournaments were the channels proposed by CSs and community groups during the co-design workshops. Over 1000 households and about 9000 community members were directly reached using the channels. Endemic communities prefer receiving schistosomiasis information using local channels instead of conventional ones. Combining citizen science with other PAR approaches empowers communities to interpret research findings in their contexts and take charge of the interventions. As such, clear and simple message coverage and a high audience turn-up can be achieved. A follow-up study is needed to evaluate the process and impact of the communication intervention on the citizen scientists and the community's knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding preventive measures
