Read-Urban was een eerste project om te onderzoeken of beleidsaanbevelingen gedaan kunnen worden met behulp van linked dataverzamelingen en data science en om ervaring op te doen met de succesfactoren voor een dergelijk proces.

In dit artikel leveren Bert Fraussen en Valérie Pattyn een theoretische bijdrage aan de bestaande literatuur over beleidsadvies door zich te laten inspireren door de nichetheorie.

In dit artikel vatten Kristin Makszin en Achim Kemmerling bewijs samen over hoe het VK en de VS leren van het Chileense pensioenmodel, maar beide landen slagen er niet in krediet toe te kennen of de lessen te vervormen.

De integratie van technologie in scholen wordt gezien als cruciaal voor het bereiken van digitale gelijkheid in het onderwijs, evenals voor schoolverbetering, en de kwaliteit van onderwijs en leren. We zien echter nog steeds onvoldoende of ineffectief gebruik van technologie in lesgeven en leren.

In dit artikel onderzochten Martin Sievert en Jonas Bruder of en hoe administratieve lasten van invloed zijn op de perceptie van burgers van het welzijnsbeleid en hun houding tegenover uitkeringsgerechtigden.

Dit artikel beschrijft dat het gebruik van het concept van energierechtvaardigheid nieuw is, hoewel interpretaties al lang deel uitmaken van het energiebeleid.

Matthew Hoye pleit voor een regulerend analytisch perspectief om de sancties tegen Afghanistan te bekijken.

Whilst government’s ability to design ‘context-specific’ regional innovation policy is generally assumed to depend on the region’s decision-making power, the aim of this study is to investigate how regional government matters. In order to open up the black box of policy design, the study develops a…

Emoties in uitspraken van politici beïnvloeden vaak de publieke perceptie. Dit onderzoek onderzoekt hun rol in EU-beleid en impact op besluitvorming.

Op 6 juni 2019 verdedigde Edward Donelan zijn proefschrift 'Regulatory Management Policies and a Universal Model for Public Policy Making, Legislative Drafting and Managing Stocks of Legislation'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. W.J.M. Voermans.

This thesis studied in depth the energy use and CO2 emissions of the industrial sector in China.

Irene Khan, expert op het gebied van mensenrechten, werpt een aantal vragen op: Wat kan men verstaan onder een ‘Culture of Justice’? Wie bepaalt wat 'Justice' is? Hoe realistisch is de bevordering van ‘Rule of Law’ en ‘Justice’ in landen waar sprake is van ernstige conflictsituaties en armoede?

Evolution acts via mutations in amino acid sequences. Substitution of essential amino acids leads to a nonfunctional protein. l.

The logic seems inescapable indeed. The bigger the population, the higher the probability it contains an Einstein. Hence, bigger populations are more likely to develop complex culture.

The origin and evolution of galaxies are closely linked to many different physical phenomena.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

We developed the bitterling as a unique, well-studied model organism in the area of the evolutionary ecology of brood parasitism. The bitterling-mussel relationship, interspecific mussel host preference, and mussel gill structure are studied in detail, to help understand the developmental adaptation…

Galaxies in the Universe are distributed along the intricate framework of the Cosmic Web. Groups and clusters of galaxies comprise the densest regions in this network, and therefore, are excellent cosmic laboratories to study different aspects of galaxy evolution in extreme environments.

Galaxies are environments where gas coalesces, cools, and is converted into stars. However, it remains unclear the exact mechanisms through which galaxies acquire, redistribute and lose their gas.

Evolutie is elke dag om je heen. Dat is de boodschap van de nieuwe Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) van de Universiteit Leiden en Naturalis die 19 september van start gaat.

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…

Taxonomy as a science has accumulated data and knowledge for more than 250 years.

This dissertation studies the Asymptotics of Bayesian nonparametric inference for Gaussian linear models.

In this dissertation iron-based homogeneous catalysts were synthesized, characterized and investigated for water oxidation activity.

Climate change is one of the largest challenges faced by humanity. To combat this research into alternatives to fossil fuels is ongoing. Dihydrogen is considered a good alternative fuel, since its burning only forms water.

Hybrid zones occur where two species meet and produce offspring (hybrids). Typically, hybrids show a considerable reduction in fitness. In this thesis two hybrid zones are treated.

To design the ideal water oxidation catalyst, understanding of the catalytic mechanism and decomposition pathways is essential.

This thesis aims to enhance our understanding of galaxies by testing theoretical models of galaxy formation against observations, particularly in the cases of extreme systems which have been found to have an excess of baryonic mass in their central regions, in the form of either supermassive black holes…

This thesis presents pioneering work on the panchromatic emission of some of the most luminous galaxies in the early Universe: star forming galaxies and active galactic nuclei.

One of the key quests in astronomy is to study the growth and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Radio observations provide a powerful means of studying the formation of stars and subsequent buildup of distant galaxies, in a way that is unbiased by the presence of dust.

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…

The formation and evolution of galaxies is fundamentally driven by the formation of new stars out of cold gas.
