With the transition to intermittent renewable energies, the need for energy storage is expected to grow significantly. Moreover, the technologies required for this transition will lead to a substantial rise in demand for strategic materials, making their rational and optimal use essential. It is therefore crucial to develop various storage technologies, each tailored to meet specific needs.

PhD Defense : The Belgian Macroseismic Database: Creation, Validation, and its Implications for Engineering Seismology by Ben NEEFS For the average citizen in Belgium, earthquakes are perceived as distant events, unlikely to ever affect their daily lives or warrant concern. This perception is supported by the relative absence of significant seismic activity in Belgium over the past 30 years.
