Het Joint Legal Technologies Program is een multidisciplinaire opleiding die een brug slaat tussen de juridische en technische wereld. Deze opleiding wordt aangeboden in samenwerking met de Open Universiteit.

Empirical Legal Studies in Leiden focust op het bouwen van een interdisciplinaire gemeenschap van rechtsgeleerden en sociale wetenschappers die samen juridische vraagstukken onderzoeken op het snijpunt van recht en gedrag, waarbij diverse soorten methoden worden gebruikt.

Het onderzoek van dit programma is gecentreerd rond dynamische systemen, functionele analyse en hun interactie.

The research of the Applied Mathematics cluster is concerned with such diverse topics as dynamical systems, representation theory, differential equations and pattern recognition.

LCA has become an important method to study environmental impacts of human activities. Still, there are several methodological issues in LCA that can adversely affect the results reliability.
