What are the pressing issues of our time, and how can different disciplines come together to address them? Studium Generale and Leiden University College (LUC) present the Global Challenges series: events that bring together researchers from LUC and experts from other disciplines to tackle a shared…

The main aim of this project is to reveal and unravel the invisible histories of the UN, transcending the dominant Western perspective to recover the historical agency of Global South actors. The research will investigate how the UN has both facilitated and limited their role in shaping global order…

The LUGO Press is a student publication forum, rooted in academia and journalistic practices and published by the Leiden University Green Office.

This thesis consists of five chapters on how to construct prediction sets for different types of data and models in a parametric or nonparametric Bayesian paradigm.

Deze opleiding biedt de mogelijkheid om onderzoek op moleculair, cellulair en organismaal niveau te verenigen, maar biedt ook de mogelijkheid om je te specialiseren op één van deze niveaus.

Around the world, mindfulness has become big business. This course combines conventional scholarly inquiry from multiple disciplines with experiential learning to provide a responsible, comprehensive, and inclusive education about mindfulness as a contemporary phenomenon.

Sinds de oprichting is LUC een college voor onderwijsontwikkeling en experimentatie. In de missie van het college wordt LUC beschreven als "een plek van innovatie op het gebied van didactiek, curriculumontwerp en studentwelzijn." Deze visie wordt toegepast via een studentgerichte benadering in het onderwijs…

In this dissertation (titled: Exploring the Synergies between Transfer in Reinforcement Learning and Procedural Content Generation) we explore how the two research fields named in the title, namely Transfer in Reinforcement Learning (TRL) and Procedural Content Generation (PCG) can synergize togethe…

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…

Viral diseases constitute one of the major challenges in modern medicine. Membrane-targeting have broad-spectrum potential and could distinguish viral membranes from the host cell plasma membrane by the difference in membrane curvature.

The aim of this thesis is to present novel techniques for proving cryptographic schemes secure against quantum adversaries. Most results are within the context of an idealized model called the ‘quantum random-oracle model’.

Risk has become one of the defining features of modern society. This course examines various types of safety and security risks, and how these are perceived and dealt with in a wide array of professional and academic fields, ranging from criminology, counter-terrorism and cyber security, to philosophy,…

This thesis presents the systematics, epidermal defense, and bioprospecting of wild orchids.

The upscaling of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data is recognized as one of the main challenges in the ex-ante LCA of emerging technologies. This challenge arises since industrial-scale system specifications for these technologies are unknown and industrial data is lacking.

Discovery and development of Central Nervous System (CNS) drugs is hampered by high attrition rates.

Aan het LUCL pogen onderzoekers om de taaldiversiteit van de inheemse bevolking van Amerika te begrijpen, te bestuderen en te behouden.

Multicopper oxidase, laccase, can efficiently reduce oxygen to water and are mostly used in the enzymatic biofuel cells.

This dissertation explores how we can make anomaly detection—identifying unusual or faulty behavior in complex systems—more trustworthy and effective, with a focus on smart manufacturing.

In this thesis, mathematical modeling and simulation was applied as a tool to inform quantitative decision making in oncology drug discovery and development.

In the last decades, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as a powerful chemical tool that may aid the ever-challenging drug discovery process.

This dissertation presents a new perspective on the life, work and character of the Dutch physical chemist Jacobus Henricus van ’t Hoff, first recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and one of the most important and colourful scientists in Dutch history. The image of Van ’t Hoff that emerges from…

Dynamical systems describe the evolution of objects in a space over time and may be used to model physical phenomena. Due to this, much research is dedicated to understanding the mathematics of dynamical systems.

Het Leiden University Centre for Linguistics (LUCL) is een van de instituten van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen.

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

Less than 1 in 10 drug candidates that enter phase 1 clinical trials actually gets approved for human use.

The glycosylation reaction is a pivotal reaction in creating new and complex oligosaccharides.

The clinical potential of applying synthetic lethality to cancer treatment is famously demonstrated by the BRCA1/PARP1 paradigm: a tumor specific defect in BRCA1 – a component of the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathway homologous recombination (HR) – results in a remarkable sensitivity to PARP1…

Climate change is a challenge for both current and future generations. New biological resources have to be developed in order to meet the demand for energy as well as the demand for food.
