In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

Surface plasmons (SPs) are surface waves at the interface between a dielectric and a good metal, and are formed by the interaction between light and the free electrons at the metal-dielectric interface. They provide strong field confinement for optical fields, opening new possibilities for enhanced…

Kunnen we van quantum-verrassingen quantum toepassingen maken? Kunnen we het leven onderzoeken en opbouwen vanuit de nano-schaal?

Outflows are crucially important for the gas budget and evolution of luminous star-forming galaxies and AGNs, with observed mass outflow rates of the same order as the star formation rate. Greater star formation and black hole growth lead to more intense feedback and outflows, resulting in self-regulated…

Maar liefst 3.472 studenten van de Faculteit Geesteswetenschappen hebben de Nationale Studenten Enquête (NSE) ingevuld in het voorjaar van 2021. Dat komt neer op een responspercentage van 46%, wat een stuk hoger ligt dan voorgaande jaren. Met de resultaten kunnen opleidingen en de faculteit aan de slag:…

Door het lerarentekort kunnen scholen alle extra handen goed gebruiken. Op het Alfrink College zijn ze dan ook blij dat studenten komen helpen.

The Sundanese people, the largest ethnic group in West Java, have been using traditional medicine for a long time. Known as ubar kampung, Sundanese indigenous knowledge, beliefs and practices of traditional medicine are based on local people’s knowledge and use of Medicinal, Aromatic, and Cosmetic (MAC)…

What would be the environmental performance of the Carbon4PUR technology at industrial scale in the future?

Announcement of a new publication by Janneke Verheijen, lecturer at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology.

The basic program comprises a total of twelve courses organized by the Research School, that have been purpose-developed for training and support of PhD students and Research MA students who specialize in Medieval Studies (history, art history, and literary history, in particular).

The field of science communication is very broad. Below is a list of organisations where SCS students can fulfill internships or where alumni have found jobs.

This thesis describes the antimicrobial discovery strategy developed in our group, the den Hertog Group at the Hubrecht Institute. It includes a cultivation-based screening approach for novel antimicrobial agents from the source of fungi, and a bacterial time-lapse imaging approach for antimicrobial…

Nature uses a special class of histone proteins, histone variants, to modulate the properties of chromatin at defined genomic locations.

The research programme Cities, Migration and Global Interdependence 1350-2000 (CMGI) focuses on urbanisation, migration, and economic development in a comparative and global context.

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

How are links between macro-invertebrate diversity and ecosystem functioning influenced by anthropogenic pressures?

Indicators to measure progress in de-linking economic growth and environmental pressure.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

Developing robust algorithms and theory for establishing cause-effect relationships from observational data that scale up to large data sets

Atoms and molecules are the basic units of matter. If we keep dividing a bar of gold or a glass of water into smaller parts, at the end we are left with a single gold atom or a water molecule.

The mission of our group is understanding how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. We believe better science communication can improve our society and engage many different groups with science, also improving science.

To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.

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…

Breeding for resistance becomes more and more important because we want to reduce the use of pesticides. A fast and cheap alternative can be to make use of morphological or chemical markers.

This thesis systematically studies the physicochemical properties of non-planar, propeller-shaped, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The synthesis of several so-called propellerenes is described on a gram scale, using optimized procedures aimed at using less hazardous reagents and reducing the amount…

Moritz Jesse has been awarded a Jean Monnet Chair by the European Commission. In his MIND-EU Project he will focus on a coherent way to teach Migration, Integration, and Non-Discrimination at Leiden Law School at bachelor and master level.

Opdrachten maken, werkgroepen voorbereiden, deadlines halen en de eerste tentamens al in zicht! Met de Get Started-campagne van de Universitaire Bibliotheken Leiden helpen we nieuwe studenten hun weg te vinden in de bibliotheek. De hulp van docenten kunnen wij daarbij goed gebruiken.

Lezing

De leerkracht-leerlingrelatie kan worden beschreven aan de hand van de door leerlingen ervaren mate van invloed en nabijheid van de leerkracht. Daarbij wordt met ‘invloed’ bedoeld de mate waarin de leerkracht bepaalt wat er in de klas gebeurt en met ‘nabijheid’ de emotionele afstand tussen leerkracht…

PLNT The Hague is donderdag gelanceerd, een 'entrepreneurial hub’ waar studenten van Campus Den Haag alles kunnen leren over ondernemerschap. Zij krijgen de mogelijkheid ondernemersvaardigheden op te doen, een netwerk op te bouwen en een innovatieve startup op te richten.
