The NWO-funded Vidi project “American foreign policy and liberalism” challenges the idea that the United States has created and sustained a “liberal international order” since World War II. It instead explores the ways in which illiberal ideologies – such as those underpinning racial hierarchy at home…

In this course, you will explore the organs involved in our food digestion and discover the common causes of abdominal and pelvic pain. The latest graphics and animations will give you new insights and understandings of this part of the body.

The four possible segments A, T, C and G that link together to form DNA molecules, and with their ordering encode genetic information, are not only different in name, but also in their physical and chemical properties.

Na een zeer succesvolle eerste editie kondigen we met genoegen de tweede Leiden eLaw Summer School aan over ‘Regulating AI in the EU Digital Market’. Deze vindt plaats van 23 tot en met 27 juni 2025, zowel fysiek in Leiden als online.

Op 26 september 2023 gaf Carlotta Rigotti een ​​lezing over de impact van de regelgeving op AI-toepassingen voor werving en selectie, tijdens de AI Lund Fika-to-Fika Workshop on Regulating High Risk AI in the EU.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

Humanity stands at a pivotal juncture, facing the dual challenge of environmental sustainability and rapid population growth, projected to exceed 11 billion by century’s end.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies are necessary to create a truly circular economy. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate is an appealing carbon utilization method as it can be performed at room temperature and pressure, it only requires two electrons, and it has…

LUGO breidt de Green Teams uit over de hele universiteit, te beginnen met de Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid, en nu met teams voor de Archeologie Faculteit en de campus in Den Haag.

Op 1 februari 2018 verdedigde Nathalie-Sharon Koster haar proefschrift getiteld ‘Crime victims and the police’. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof. dr. J.P. van der Leun en dr. mr. M.J.J. Kunst.

Sinds de 16e eeuw hebben religieuze overwegingen de studie van het Oudengels en zijn sprekers gemotiveerd. In de 19e eeuw wendden geleerden zich vooral tot de studie van de Oudengelse literatuur om sporen te vinden van voorchristelijke, 'Germaanse' religie, zoals besproken in Eric G. Stanley's baanbrekende…

De Tweede Kamer is tot op het bot verdeeld over het omstreden handelsakkoord tussen de Europese Unie en Canada (Ceta). De economische cijfers spreken in het voordeel van Ceta, dat zorgt voor de afschaffing van 98% van de importtarieven. Zowel de import als export met Canada nam, sinds het akkoord in…

Lezing

This thesis discusses the physical and chemical processes than influence the composition of forming planets.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

This thesis describes the use of bioorthogonal proteins in immunological settings. It provides an introduction towards the field of protein modification, which was used throughout the thesis for the expression of proteins containing unnatural amino acids.

This thesis investigates how galaxies form and what diversifies the evolutionary histories of galaxies.

A New Technology-Based Firm (NTBF) is a significant enabler of job creation and a driver of the economy through stimulating innovation.

Organic molecules in interstellar space are important as they influence the structure of galaxies and star formations. Studying catalytic processes in space allows us to understand how molecular species are formed and chemically evolved in the interstellar medium and solar system objects.

Galaxy intrinsic alignments induce a major astrophysical contamination to weak gravitational lensing measurements and need to be modelled and mitigated when extracting cosmological information from such measurements.

This thesis discusses several questions regarding the double ramification cycle as a Chow class on the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves using tools from so-called logarithmic geometry.
