Making a Real-World Impact on Campus

What role should the university play in the climate crisis?

The month of October saw LUGO host an active Green Morning to celebrate the opening of the largest green solar roof of the Benelux (located on the rooftop of the Snellius building!).

LUGO’s monthly Green Drinks are open to students and staff of Leiden University to connect with the LUGO community of staff, board members, committee members, and volunteers. Share your ideas for a sustainability project, connect with like-minded students and staff, and have a Green Drink on us! Don’t…

Roll your sustainable sleeves! Our students and staff have found various ways to do just that, both at home and at our university.

The Law School Green Team is the very first Green Team created by LUGO. We work on making our faculty as sustainable as possible. We’re dedicated to promoting a greener and more eco-friendly faculty, so we can all contribute to a better environment! In addition to our green initiatives, we also organize…

"A Green Office (GO) is a platform for sustainability that is established and run by students with the support of the university or Applied Sciences school staff members. The primary goal of a GO is to ensure that the institution is becoming more sustainable in all its facets. This way, the sustainable…

This is the most recent Green Team! We're so excited to gather new members and make a difference at the FSW faculty. Join today!

The Green Teams were launched by the Leiden University Green Office (LUGO) in 2023 to bring sustainability directly into faculty buildings. Each team represents LUGO at their faculty, supports the implementation of sustainability policies, and develops its own projects and events. The Hague Green…

Leiden University Green Office (LUGO) aims to promote sustainability in its teaching, research and operations. It is therefore supporting the University in the transition to a sustainable future.

Bikes are one of the most sustainable ways of travel which use should be promoted by the University.

Acknowledging the work and effort of Leiden University staff is one step closer to having a more sustainable University.

Welcome to Leiden University Green Office!

Urbanisation is steadily increasing with estimates expecting that 68% of the global population will live in cities by 2050. To accommodate the rural to urban transition, large quantities of land are transformed from natural to urban lands.

The research programme Probability Theory focuses on probability theory and on operations research.

Many important topics in computer science, such as the correctness of software, the efficiency of algorithms and the modeling of complicated systems, depend on sound theoretical underpinnings. In the Theory group, we study these fundamental building blocks and develop verification methods to prove system…

This article argues that opposition to government green investments is conditional on the method of financing.

The research of the Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory programme ranges from fundamental mathematical theory to algorithms and applications.

Advances in the field of high-performance Nd-Fe-B permanent magnets, by re-engineering their microstructure to make them more powerful while reducing rare earth content.

This book addresses the definition of history and how people are influenced by it.

It’s Not Easy Being Green – but we’re here to help! Do you want to live more sustainably but have no idea where to start? Are you interested in making the world greener and do you want to get to the bottom of hot topics? Or are you sceptical about climate change and do you want to hear about the…

Understanding how nature captures and transfers solar energy is essential both for elucidating biological photosynthesis and for guiding the design of artificial light-harvesting systems.

Africa is seen as a potential leader in green hydrogen production for domestic consumption, export and greening industry. One key barrier to realising this potential is the mismatch of skills between those required by industry and the capability of local workforces.

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

This book addresses the definition of history and how people are influenced by it.

On 19 February 2020, Richard Jiang defended his thesis '‘Greening’ the WTO Ban on China’s Export Duties'. The doctoral research was supervised by Prof. M.C.E.J. Bronckers.

In analogy to mathematical proofs, the goal of a proof system is for a prover to convince a verifier of the correctness of a claim.

In ancient times, the steppe in the hinterland of Petra (Jordan) was transformed into a green oasis. This project tries to shed insights in the agricultural, water management and societal processes resulting in this transformation. This will be accomplished by practicing an interdisciplinary research…

The research of the Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory cluster tries to bridge the gap between abstract theory and the world of algorithms and applications.

Green infrastrucuture (GI) like urban farm and green roofs could provide many beneficial functions in cities. These include for example food production, flood prevention or increasing biodiversity. MultiGreen project aims at developing an integrated modelling tool to support…

This thesis addresses the challenge of sustainable urban development by analyzing the interplay between green and grey infrastructure to optimize resource use and ecosystem services.

In this thesis we examine certain phenomena in symplectic topology which are related to the theory of isolated singularities.

On the brink of war, what influences decision makers to attack another country? Using innovative theoretical angles, Femke E. Bakker explores whether the basic assumptions of democratic peace theory are indeed correct. She stresses the microfoundations of conflict, questioning the assumptions on…

Sentencing is becoming increasingly complex for the courts. Legal scholars and criminologists from Leiden document the process of sentencing in the Netherlands. They use this knowledge to advise legislators and those who implement this legislation on how to make sentencing more consistent and effect…

The master’s specialisation Algebra, Geometry and Number Theory at Leiden University is aimed at students who wish to acquire a profound knowledge of one of the areas within pure mathematics. There is a strong theme dealing with algebra and number theory as well as a strong theme dealing with topology…

Edited by linguists Jenny Audring (Leiden University) and Francesca Masini (University of Bologna), this is a unique handbook with a focus on morphology theories rather than morphological data. It covers a wide array of morphological theories, from traditional twentieth century models to current theoretical…

The Death of Archaeological Theory, edited by John Bintliff and Mark Pearce, addresses the provocative subject of whether it is time to discount the burden of somewhat dogmatic theory and ideology that has built up over the last 25 years.

The thesis mainly contributes to the characterization of Majorana fermions as they appear in the Condensed Matter context.
