De Universiteitsraad (UR) is het centrale medezeggenschapsorgaan van de universiteit.

Op dinsdag 12 september heeft Willy de Heer haar proefschrift:

Deze master Health, Ageing and Society geeft je inzicht, kennis en vaardigheden om de ouderenzorg te veranderen. Deze verandering is nodig om de zorg voor ouderen in de toekomst te kunnen garanderen, maar biedt ook oplossingen om gelukkiger, vitaler oud te worden.

Het Research Support Team (RST) van het Instituut Security and Global Affairs biedt uitgebreide ondersteuning en tijdig advies aan onderzoekers als het gaat om het vinden van relevante beschikbare beurzen of fondsen.

How can we quantify the density of species within a community through environmental DNA concentrations?

How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

Hieronder leest u welke onderzoeken wij in het verleden hebben uitgevoerd.

Op 10 november 2021 verdedigde Carmel van Niekerk-Jacobs het proefschrift 'Realising the right to reproduce with assistance in South Africa'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. J.J. Sloth-Nielsen en prof.dr. T. Liefaard.

Het intern gerenoveerde P.J. Vethgebouw is in de zomer van 2017 feestelijk geopend en in gebruik genomen door de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen. Dit is het eerste afgeronde deelproject in de ontwikkeling van een vernieuwde Humanities Campus. Met grote zorgvuldigheid is het monument omgevormd tot een…

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

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

In this thesis integral points on affine del Pezzo surfaces are studied.

We have studied the impact of particle shape anisotropy, multivalent interactions and flexibility on systems of micron-sized colloidal particles.

A century ago, it was unclear whether the stars in the sky were clustered in groups, or widely spread in the universe.

The idea of citizens and public professionals collaborating to provide public services has widely spread in several countries around the globe. Co-production is often presented as the go-to solution for challenges like a legitimacy crisis of both the government and the market, and financial concerns.…

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

Planets are formed in disks of gas and dust around young stars.

It has been a long-standing mystery how complex biological structures emerge from such seemingly uncoordinated building blocks as cells and tissues, in the presence of only minimal environmental guidance.

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancer in males.

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

The subject of this thesis, ‘Approach to Markov Operators on Spaces of Measures by Means of Equicontinuity’, combines an analytical and probabilistic approach to Markov operators.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

This thesis describes biochemical investigations of glucocerebrosidase (GBA), the lysosomal β- glucosidase that is deficient in Gaucher disease (GD).

A plasma is an ionized gas with very low electrical resistivity. As such, magnetic field lines are 'frozen in' and move with the fluid. Magnetic field lines that are linked, knotted and tangled, cannot be undone by the fluid motions.

When a star gets too close to a supermassive black hole, it is torn apart by strong tidal forces in a tidal disruption event (TDE).

The Sun and all the stars in the night sky reside in the Milky Way galaxy. In the at-rest reference frame of the Galaxy, typical stars travel with velocities of about 100-200 kilometres per second.

From surface science towards industrial practice using high-pressure scanning tunneling microscopy.

Almost all bacteria are enveloped by a cell wall that provides cellular protection.
