Er zijn wereldwijd vele open (leer)materialen beschikbaar, maar deze worden nog niet of zeer beperkt gebruikt in het onderwijs.

Snelle en goedkope chips die extreem kleine hoeveelheden vloeistof (microfluïden) analyseren vormen de kern van gepersonaliseerde gezondheidszorg. Maar het ‘laboratorium op een chip’ is nog niet effectief genoeg. Dr. Paul Vulto en zijn onderzoeksteam ontwikkelden een techniek die het gebruik van microfluïdische…

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

The ongoing increase in antimicrobial resistance combined with the low discovery of novel antibiotics is a serious threat to our health care.

This thesis is dedicated to the exploration of the primordial dark ages: unknown physics during the earliest stages of the Universe’s expansion that have not yet been directly probed by observations. Cosmic inflation is a burst of exponential expansion of space after the “Big Bang”.

Aan de opleidingen van het Centre for Professional Learning op het gebied van Terrorisme, Recht en Veiligheid zijn verschillende (research) fellows verbonden. De fellows geven advies over de inhoud van het curriculum en de verbinding tussen wetenschap en praktijk.

EU Universe Awareness (EU-UNAWE), een educatief sterrenkundeproject van de Leidse Sterrewacht, heeft gloednieuw lesmateriaal ontwikkeld: Universe in a Box. Het toegankelijke lespakket is ontworpen om de moeilijke en soms abstracte concepten van sterrenkunde uit te leggen aan jonge kinderen van 4 tot…

Het project Universe Awareness (UNAWE) van de Universiteit Leiden organiseert een Kickstarter crowdfunding campagne om de lespakketten van 'Universe in a Box', een lespakket voor sterrenkunde, zoveel mogelijk te kunnen verspreiden onder kansarme gemeenschappen over de hele wereld. De campagne werd gelanceerd…

Lorenza Colzato wil onderzoeken of het gebruik van probiotica en tryptofaan de sociaal-cognitieve achteruitgang die optreedt bij het ouder worden, kan vertragen. Daarvoor ontvangt Colzato samen met haar collega's in Duitsland en Spanje een JPI 'A Healthy Diet for A Healthy Life' Joint Transnational…
