Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

De Staff Alliance for Equity (SAFE) is een bottom-upplatform dat openstaat voor medewerkers op alle niveaus, ongeacht hun contractuele status. De aanwezigheid en activiteiten van SAFE versterken onze toewijding aan de Gedragscode van de Faculteit Governance and Global Affairs, die ‘alle studenten en…

Internationale medewerker aan de Universiteit Leiden? Voor een onbezorgde start in je nieuwe omgeving ga je naar het Service Centre International Staff.

‘Een particuliere donatie voor je onderzoek, dat is heel bijzonder’, vindt de Leidse psycholoog Femke Nijboer. Een deel van de opbrengst van het boek ‘Donkere wolken’ schenkt schrijver en ervaringsdeskundige Sun Mi Venema voor onderzoek naar het locked-in syndroom. Een gesprek over een cheque van Venema…

Europese burgers worden geconfronteerd met uitdagingen op het gebied van globalisering, migratie, technologische ontwikkelingen en klimaatverandering. Deze uitdagingen vergen het uiterste van onderlinge internationale en intergenerationele solidariteit, wat rechtstreeks betrekking heeft op de grondslagen…

OB associations are loose groups of young, massive stars. They constitute the last stage of the massive starformation process, and the context in which new stars are formed.

Faciliteiten waar LIBC leden gebruik van kunnen maken (in het Engels):

All crested and marbled newts (the genus Triturus) suffer from an unusual genetic abnormality, called a balanced lethal system, that kills exactly half of their offspring. How can a trait so disadvantageous have survived millions of years of natural selection?

In this thesis, we address two problems concerning the tautological rings of the moduli space of curves.

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

GLOBOX is a spatially differentiated multimedia fate, exposure and effect model. It is used for the calculation of spatially differentiated LCA characterisation factors on a global scale.

During the summer, we organize a summer school for researchers who want to learn about communicating science to diverse audiences. The summer school is aimed at researchers in any career stage who are new to science communication. The Summer School is open for all disciplines in science, including social…

De eerste index om de veiligheid, duurzaamheid en circulariteit van producten te meten, waarmee ze het EU-kader (SSbD) operationaliseren.

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

The main topic of this PhD thesis is the Arakelov ray class group of a number field, an algebraic object that contains both the ideal class group structure and the unit group structure.

Over the past two centuries, socioeconomic development has improved material living standards but has also intensified environmental pressures, including climate change and biodiversity loss.

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

This thesis comprises the development of reproducible synthesis procedures for two-dimensional materials (composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon) on different metallic surfaces.

Stellar feedback is a crucial ingredient in the evolution of galaxies.

Dit artikel biedt een systematisch literatuuronderzoek van de belangrijkste principes, normen en strategieën van Security by Design en Privacy by Design.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

The majority (80%) of e-waste generated globally are recycled informally in developing countries.

In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

The Study Information Committee works to create a positive and accurate picture of the bachelor and master programs offered by the Institute of Biology Leiden (IBL). The committee consists of IBL staff members and study ambassadors. We reach out to future and current students, high school biology teachers,…

Una Europa biedt veel mogelijkheden voor ondersteunend personeel.

We verwelkomen gastwetenschappers wier onderzoek aansluit bij onze uiteenlopende expertisegebieden. De tekst gaat verder in het Engels.

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

The dissertation offers new tools and insights to computation and modelling of topological phases, with an emphasis on the aperiodic setting.

Material circularity and energy efficiency are highly relevant and intertwined issues for the transition towards a carbon-neutral and circular built environment. In the Netherlands, the building sector has been rendered a priority towards a circular and low-carbon society.

The focus of this thesis is how stars like our Sun and planets like Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth are formed.

The plant hormone auxin regulates plant growth and development through polar cell-to-cell transport-generated maxima and minima. PIN FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux carriers determine the direction of this auxin flow through their asymmetric placement on the plasma membrane (PM).

This PhD thesis concerns the topic of arithmetic geometry. We address three different questions and each of the questions in some way is about counting how big some set is or can be.

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

Every organisms in the tree of life faces the same challenge: the length of its DNA exceeds the volume of the cell it needs to fit in. Several strategies have evolved to solve this problem, one of them being the expression of proteins that bind and organize the DNA.
