It will guarantee traceability of certified…

In Vietnam is de aanwezigheid van buitenlandse bedrijven, en daarmee buitenlandse culturen, toegenomen. Daarom hebben studenten er behoefte aan om meer te leren over culturele verschillen en interculturele communicatie. Dit proefschrift richt zich op het verbeteren van training in interculturele communicatie…

Hoe dachten de anglosaksen over de ervaring van het ouder worden? Was het echt een gouden tijd voor de ouderen zoals werd gesuggereerd?

In onze eenjarige masteropleiding leer je hoe je het dagelijks leven van kwetsbare groepen - zowel in Nederland als wereldwijd - kunt bestuderen, en hoe je ze binnen de complexe processen van sociale en globale ontwikkeling kunt plaatsen.

De masteropleiding Cultural Analysis: Literature and Theory van de Universiteit Leiden richt zich op de studie van literatuur vanuit een vergelijkend en theoretisch perspectief, en onderzoekt de literatuur van een breed spectrum van talen en culturen uit de hele wereld.

Op 11 november 2021 verdedigde Evelien Campfens het proefschrift 'Cross-border Claims to Cultural Objects'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door prof.dr. N.J. Schrijver en prof.dr. W.J. Veraart (VU Amsterdam).

Studievoorlichting

Where and how are critical materials currently used and how can this information be used to develop scenarios about their future demand.

Wat is mechanica van zachte materialen (o.a. schuim, zand)?

In his dissertation Michiel Hooykaas outlines the results of six empirical research projects focused at biodiversity awareness in the Netherlands, specifically people’s knowledge about animals.

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?

A sustainable resource management is an essential aspect to satisfy the current human needs without compromising the needs of future generations.

Examining if large scale application of new energy pathways can be constrained by materials and emissions.

De wereldbevolking is in de afgelopen eeuw exponentieel gegroeid, en daarmee ook onze behoefte aan energie en materialen. Willen we in de toekomst ook in welvaart leven, dan zullen we onze economie en consumptie radicaal anders moeten inrichten. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek laat zien hoe dat kan.

Geometric phases lead to a nontrivial interference result when an electron's different quantum mechanical paths choices encircle a magnetic coil in an Aharonov-Bohm experiment.

How can prospective LCA be streamlined in a way that its practical application in research and technology development increases?

An account of the total of material flows going in, out and through Amsterdam.

This interdisciplinary study focuses on (trans)national ethnic and popular networks, combining historical-ethnographic and computational methods to understand the ‘workings’ of networked conflict interfering in the increasingly violent conflict in the Sahel (Africa) and beyond. The project focuses on…

Some examples of research questions include: What framework of circular strategies should local practitioners use? How should practitioners organize their monitoring of the circular economy activities in the region of interest? What are the main products that have the most circular potential in the…

The role of material production as a driver of environmental impacts is increasing, which calls for a better understanding of global material flows. This thesis explores the role of in-use stocks of products, buildings and infrastructure as a key driver of global material demand and discusses the implications…

In this Ph.D. thesis we study the interaction of low energy electrons with thin materials, namely layered materials (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide) and organic films. At these low energies the quantum mechanical wavelength of the electron wave function is in the order of a…

Self-assembly is an abundant process in nature and is vital to many processes in living organisms.

In this thesis, time-lapse fluorescent microscopy plays a pivotal role in investigating functional materials within living cells as well as the migratory behaviour of neural progenitor cells.

This dissertation investigates the energy and material related impacts of the transition towards a low-carbon heating system in the Netherlands, in the context of its 2050 climate and circular economy policy goals.

1) Assess the trends in supply and production status of these critical minerals and mineral products worldwide and Europe’s dependence including on intermediate products such as permanent magnets, RE based super alloys, batteries, polishing compounds, phosphors, catalysts etc. 2) Trace the entire value…

The studies in this thesis are focused on the physical effects in the flat band materials. The results contain the discovery of strong enhancement of RKKY spin-spin interactions with specific geometric arrangement and dynamical generation of excitonic order parameter with high magnitude.

A new type of tripodal squaramide-based supramolecular hydrogels is developed and studied.

Promotors: Prof.dr. J. Zaanen, Prof.dr.ir. H. Hilgenkamp

This thesis described the development of novel scanning tunneling microscopy techniques to investigate strongly correlated electronic states in quantum matter.

Waarom zijn transnationale en interculturele agenten zoals Henrich Carloff en Willem Leyel belangrijk voor de studie van de vroegmoderne expansie?

De belangrijkste casestudy van het project is de culturele geografie van Sakkara, de necropolis van de oud-Egyptische stad Memphis, en de ontwikkeling daarvan.

In dit artikel onderzoeken de auteurs het concept van terugkerende gebeurtenissen, waarbij ze zich met name richten op het Eurovisiesongfestival.

We find ourselves in an era of transition, not just towards a more computing- and data-driven society but also away from unsustainable fossil fuels as an energy source.

De masteropleiding Media Studies van de Universiteit Leiden combineert theoriekennis met praktijkervaring om zo een ideale springplank te vormen voor een carrière in de literatuur, film, fotografie of journalistiek.

What are the flows of C&DW (e.g. bricks, concrete, gypsum and wood) in the case study countries ? How to define the specification for each material to be quantified? What indicators should be used to identify the pattern of each C&DW management system? How to interpret the MFA results in relation…

n this PhD thesis, the recombination of different atomic lattices in stacked 2D materials such as twisted bilayer graphene is studied. Using the different possibilities of Low-Energy Electron Microscopy (LEEM), the domain forming between the two atomic layers with small differences is studied.

In the current global context, there is a pressing need to address sustainable energy supplies to safeguard our Planet and its ecosystems. The choices made by human society have a significant impact on genetic evolution and climate.

Since its beginnings, Leiden University has been home to scholars with a broad and diverse expertise in the histories, languages, literatures and material cultures relevant to the study of Jews and Judaism from antiquity to modern times.
