One of the key discoveries in exoplanet research over the past decade is the abundance of small planets in our Milky Way. Despite their high numbers, our understanding of their atmospheres remains limited, and it is unknown if they possess atmospheres at all.

Binnen Una Europa vindt academische samenwerking plaats in interdisciplinaire zelfsturende comités (SSC’s).

De Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid verricht hoogwaardig onderzoek naar acht onderzoeksprogramma's.

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.

De tweejarige master Philosophy van de Universiteit Leiden bestudeert de fundamentele principes die ten grondslag liggen aan menselijke kennis en cultiveert tegelijkertijd je vaardigheden in redenatie en argumentatie.

Inspirerende lesvoorbeelden, alles over het nieuwe examenonderwerp, de nieuwste vakdidactische ontwikkelingen en een overzicht van de lesmethodes. Je vindt dit en veel meer op onze jaarlijkse nascholingsdagen voor docenten.

Leiden heeft er twee nieuwe minoren bij. Een over de functie van herinneringcultuur en een over de Islam. Ze gaan beide van start in september 2015. Waarom was het tijd om deze minoren te lanceren? Waarom zijn ze van belang en voor welke studenten zijn ze interessant? We vroegen initiatiefnemers Yra…

Examining the sustainability aspects of biotechnology, especially those related to the production of ethanol from biomass.

Het HOPES Onderzoek is een van de grootste onderzoeken van dit soort tot nu toe! Door bestaande hersenscans en gegevens van meer dan 4.000 jongeren tussen 14 en 25 jaar te bestuderen, hoopt het projectteam specifieke veranderingen in de hersenen te identificeren die jongeren kwetsbaar maken voor zelfmoordgedachten…

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

Global healthcare is on the verge of an antibiotic availability crisis as bacteria have evolved resistance to nearly all known antibacterials. Identifying new antibiotics that operate via novel modes-of-action is therefore of high priority.

Netherlands Statistics (CBS), Leiden University and the University of Amsterdam have started a collaboration in the form of a research project titled 'Enriching official economic statistics using data-driven modelling techniques'.

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.

The field of exoplanet research is rapidly advancing through the development of new technology, observing techniques, and post-processing methods.

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…

This thesis is is made of three parts. The first part describes a generalization of the Chabauty's method, that can be used to determine the rational points of a curve such that s+g>r+1, where g is the genusof the curve, r is the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the jacobian of the curve and s is…
