De Europese Commissie is van mening dat de EU-beschermingsclausule (art. 42.7 EU-verdrag) van toepassing is, wanneer de VS Groenland zou annexeren. Experts, waaronder hoogleraar europeesrecht, Armin Cuyvers, zeggen in het Noord-Hollands Dagblad, het hier niet mee eens te zijn, omdat het in deze kwestie…

This minor focuses on how our thoughts, emotions and behaviour are influenced by other people, and how we influence other people.

We are interested in understanding the mechanics of soft materials, of which biological materials are prominent examples.

We are cosmologists, in other words we use physics to study the Universe, how it started and evolved into the structure that we observe around us.

Truth is stranger than fiction. In 1997 Juan Maldaceña discovered a remarkable dictionary that translates equation for equation the physics of black holes in string theory into the more conventional physics of quantum mechanics of interacting particles. The remarkable possibility exists that…

The programme group Research Methods and Statistics offers support to researchers from a variety of research projects within Education and Child Studies.

The focus of our theoretical research is understanding the behaviour of soft condensed matter, physical matter which is deformed or structurally altered by thermal fluctuations or small stresses.

Enforcement of group cooperation fails because of discriminatory punishment, according to research by Welmer Molenmaker and colleagues. When group members have different backgrounds, punishment turns into a double-edged sword: no longer used just to prevent group exploitation, but also to break the…

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

The development of space resource activities is happening now. In the absence of a clear framework to govern these activities, there is a need to examine the concepts that are being discussed in order to ensure that they meet existing treaty obligations regarding on-orbit operations and space resource…
