SCK•CEN is one of the largest research institutions in Belgium. As a foundation of public utility, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre conducts ground-breaking research into nuclear energy and ionising radiation for civilian use, and develops nuclear technologies for socially valuable purposes. This is achieved by means of independent, fundamental and applied research, and by providing advice, training, services and products.
The Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ) promotes accumulation of marine knowledge and excellence in marine research in Flanders. The marine research areas are the ocean and seas, the coast and the tidal systems. The target groups for knowledge accumulation are the marine research community as well as educational institutions, the general public, policymakers and the industry (within the scope of the blue economy).
In this course, realistic research cases form the starting point for which we will try to find practical solutions. We will tackle research questions by designing tailor-made factorial experiments within the budget and lab constraints. Power analysis will be key to achieve this goal. Finally, we will analyse the expected output in a statistical sound manner, interpret the results and propose presentations.
