The upscaling of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data is recognized as one of the main challenges in the ex-ante LCA of emerging technologies. This challenge arises since industrial-scale system specifications for these technologies are unknown and industrial data is lacking.

Computers worden steeds krachtiger en krijgen steeds ingewikkelder taken. Het Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) doet baanbrekend wetenschappelijk onderzoek en past nieuwe vindingen toe in actuele maatschappelijke vraagstukken.

In this thesis, mathematical modeling and simulation was applied as a tool to inform quantitative decision making in oncology drug discovery and development.

De onderzoeksgroep Intelligence and Security houdt zich bezig met inlichtingen en veiligheid binnen de Europese Unie. De aanpak is interdisciplinair en weerspiegelt de brede benadering van het ISGA. Inzichten uit onder meer ethiek, geschiedenis, recht, politicologie, psychologie en sociologie worden…

Students Practicing Citizen Journalism

Computational thinking, programming, and algorithms form the basic of many of the things that are shaping our world, the way we work, interact, organize ourselves, and even spend our free time with social networks, streaming media, and games. And this transformation is far from being complete, it is…

Dinsdag 14 juni was Armin Cuyvers te gast in het programma Juridische Zaken van BNR.

Submissions are sought for a special issue with Frontiers in Political Science that explores the conceptual and practical aspects of a ‘just’ energy transition both within and beyond Europe. In particular, contributions to the theoretical and interdisciplinary foundations of just transitions, as well…

How can we broaden youth participation in STEM Learning

Corruption, integrity (or a lack thereof…) and public values are near omnipresent elements in public administration and politics of all times. Cases of corrupt public officials and politicians continuously emerge. Strangely enough, however, it often remains unknown what actually occurred, how something…

Het onderzoeksthema ‘Straftoemeting’ richt zich op straftoemeting in brede zin. Het zwaartepunt ligt op straftoemetingsbeslissingen van rechters, maar ook andere beslissingen die eerder in het strafproces worden genomen, zoals de beslissing over verlenging of beëindiging van de voorlopige hechtenis,…

De Leiden Slavery Studies Association (LSSA) is toegewijd aan het bevorderen van een beter begrip van slavernij en post-slavernij in elke periode en elk geografisch gebied.

The inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) pyridazine elimination emerged in 2013 as a new bioorthogonal reaction and constitutes a prime example of what is now known as dissociative bioorthogonal chemistry. The research described in this Thesis aims to develop synthetic strategies which enable…

Freshwater biodiversity has been threatened by eutrophication due to excessive nutrients in the environment. Releasing the freshwater species from such pressures requires efforts from industry and manufacturers to avoid emissions to vulnerable and high-risk regions.

This thesis is largely an experimental study on the formation of solid-state simple and complex organic molecules in the H2O-rich and CO-rich ice phases of dense interstellar clouds and dark cores.
