Thin film of energy
PV foil is 'building-integrated': it collects solar energy, and makes the roof waterproof at the same time. -
Deep source of new energy
In addition to conventional thermal energy storage, we use a solution that was developed especially for us. -
Floor = hot = cold
With hot and cold water led through pipes in the concrete floors, we keep the temperature nice and constant. -
"Rewilding landscapes can help to solve more than one problem"
Urbanisation, biodiversity loss, climate change: just some of the worldwide problems 'rewilding' - i.e. restoring food chains by returning 'missing' species to the landscape - can help tackle -
Large herbivores can bend the curve of biodiversity loss in tropical forests
A 10-year experiment in Brazil’s endangered Atlantic Forest, led by NIOO-researcher Nacho Villar, has found that there's less biodiversity loss in areas where large herbivores can roam free. -

In order to protect, or restore biodiversity, it is crucial to consider all forms of life within their entire context. The strength of NIOO-based research is that it integrates all of the different levels and scales that make up biodiversity, from genetic diversity to species diversity, from small to large organisms, from trophic interactions to communities and ecosystems, and in a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Therefore, NIOO is in the right position to make a substantial and scientifically important contribution to the societal goal of the SDGs. -
