Second-year MIRD students showcase their thesis research on global issues during the 2025 Thesis Symposium, bridging theory and diplomatic practice.

Wetlands provide many ecosystem goods and services which include fish production. The sustainability of small-scale fisheries (SSF) has received considerable attention in recent years because fish is one of the major sources of animal protein to a considerable fraction of the global population which…

Dr. Genner Llanes Ortiz reageert in het Algemeen Dagblad op de resultaten van het laserproject Lidar, waarin al duizenden Maya-bouwwerken zijn ontdekt.

In his dissertation Michiel Hooykaas outlines the results of six empirical research projects focused at biodiversity awareness in the Netherlands, specifically people’s knowledge about animals.

Large carnivores and humans, along with their livestock, have co-existed for thousands of years. However, human population growth and an increase in economic activities are modifying the landscape for large carnivores and their prey.

Archeologie in Afrika was en is vaak nog een westerse koloniale activiteit. Tomomi Fushiya, recentelijk gepromoveerd op dit onderwerp, schreef hierover een artikel in de december-uitgave van Archeologie Magazine.

In the thesis the dynamics of strategies is studied from two perspectives.In the first part of the thesis strategies are considered to be opinions present in a community.

Mariana Françozo krijgt een Starting Grant van de European Research Council. De 1,5 miljoen euro zullen door Dr. Françozo en haar onderzoeksteam worden ingezet om een beter begrip te krijgen van het proces waarbij de traditionele kennis van de diverse inheemse Braziliaanse volken is omgezet in westerse…

De Filipijnse antropologen Andrea Malaya M. Ragragio en Myfel D. Paluga blikken terug op de baanbrekende Netflix show Trese en waar het aan ontbrak bij de verhalen van inheemse volken. Zij publiceerden het artikel 'What Netflix Got Wrong About Indigenous Storytelling' in het digitale antropologie tijdschrift…

Big Science, commonly defined as conventional science made big in three dimensions, namely organizations, machines, and politics, brings a plethora of different stakeholders together, often for a long period of time. This includes policymakers, scientists, (scientific) managers as well as local “host”…

In this thesis, we present new laboratory data of interstellar dust analogues.

Within the field of astronomy, understanding how galaxies grow and evolve from the Big Bang to the present day is a challenging and complex question.

Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) has become the standard for business processes diagrams.

Nanoparticles can be used as delivery systems for both small molecules and macromolecules such as proteins, peptides or oligonucleotides. This thesis focuses on the use of liposomes, nanometric vesicles formed by a lipid bilayer enclosing an aqueous core. Liposomes are highly versatile delivery syst…

This study has been carried out in the community of Sukamiskin, a kelurahan (‘village’) in Bandung, the Capital of West Java Province, located in the Sunda Region of Indonesia.

The next generation of high-contrast imaging instruments on space-based observatories requires sophisticated wavefront sensing and control in addition to a high-performance coronagraph.

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…

This thesis explores the theoretical and observational properties of distant massive galaxies that harbour active black holes in their centres and shine brightly at radio wavelengths.

The high velocity tail of the total velocity distribution of stars provides essential insight into fundamental properties of the Galaxy.

Particles are omnipresent in biopharmaceutical products. In protein-based therapeutics such particles are generally associated with impurities, either derived from the drug product itself (e.g. protein aggregates), or from extrinsic contaminations (e.g. cellulose fibers).

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

At the largest scales, two ingredients dictate the distribution of matter in the Universe. The first is dark matter, acting as an invisible scaffolding held together by gravitational forces.

This thesis focusses on the temperature structure in protoplanetary disks. The relation between structures seen in the dust and gas-phase molecules is investigated.

Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the fundamental processes of modern life, being common in industrial refinery and hydrogen vehicles, all the way to the living cell. The dissociation of H2 on Cu(111) is an important benchmark system for studying heterogeneous catalysis, with a large and varied amount…

Het identificeren van veranderingen in de hersenen die verband houden met suïcidale gedachten en gedragingen (STB's) bij jongeren is van cruciaal belang om de ontwikkeling ervan te begrijpen en vroegtijdige interventie en preventie te verbeteren.
