Aerodynamics of buildings, cities

Lezing bij de Universiteit van Vlaanderen: Hoe sneller fietsen zonder harder te trappen?
We collaborate with Horeca Flanders, Mega-disco Versuz, ABN Climate Technologies, the City of Hasselt and the Belgian Corona Commissariat to generate advice for COVID-19 safe reopening of discos in Flanders, Belgium, and worldwide.
We are very proud of the great Irish,
Dutch and Belgian
athletes we supported, for delivering great performances
and bringing home many medals.
Thank you athletes. See you again soon in our wind tunnel.
