How to get involved in sustainability? Read more about four projects that Leiden University helped realise in the past few years.

Institutions for Conflict Resolution in Leiden focuses on how the judiciary is able to prevent and solve problems.

Research is meant to generate knowledge, in a rational and sensible way. Many research methods exist to do this, and creativity is an important factor. Our mission is to explore creative, playful, unexpected, and unconventional forms of academic research.

What is the relation between brain development and social and cognitive development across childhood, adolescence and adulthood?

Academic collaborations

This year Leiden University exists for 444 years! This will be celebrated together with the residents of Leiden and The Hague during various activities. One of these is scientists and residents doing research on plastics and psychology together.

How can we help children and adults to acquire better reading comprehension? Paul van den Broek and his colleagues at the Brain and Education Lab are searching for an answer to this question by investigating reading and the related brain activity.

Professor of Ecotoxicology Martina Vijver and lecturer Maarten Schrama are the founders and managers of the Living Lab. As well as these two researchers, a number of other ecologists and biologists are involved in the research at the Lab.

This is an Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility project of the Faculty of Humanities with the University of Hyderabad.

ELS@Leiden organises lab meetings and other activities throughout the year. Find out what ELS can do for you in helping you develop your empirical-legal research skills.

In a lot of research on education, general didactic principles are applied to a particular area of study. ‘But every field of study also has its own ways of thinking’, argues professor Fred Janssen. ‘If you can identify those ways of thinking, then you have a lot of indicators for how you can best organise…

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about education or research at the Living Lab. You can contact the secretariat of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML).

Control of Living Cells by Magnetic Fluorescent Nanoparticles

Currently, Navigation Lab Leiden works on three main themes: navigation ability, spatial abilities, novel techniques in neuropsychology.

With the help of quantum mechanics, digital quantum hardware may be able to tackle some of the problems that are too difficult for ordinary computers. But despite these expectations and the ongoing effort of the research community, reliable quantum computers are not yet realized in a lab setting.

This Call for Proposals covers a wide range of research incubator ideas to stimulate research careers of early career female researchers at FGGA. Research incubator ideas may include various research themes and could concern different types of research projects.

Develop EPR instrumentation and methodology to investigate intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs).

The Risk and Regulation Lab is co-directed by:

This thesis revolves around the electronic spectroscopy of molecules in the laboratory and the search for the carriers of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs).

The Digital Humanities Pilot Projects Symposium is open to all, and the Digital Skills Workshops – Winter Week is open to LU staff and PhD/MA students. See below for details.

LUCDH facilitates workshops that promote the acquisition of skills and knowledge in employing digital tools.

The Leiden Leadership Programme (LLP) is a one-year honours programme for master’s students from Leiden University, Technical University Delft, and Erasmus University Rotterdam. In this programme, you will be equipped with the knowledge, insights and skills required for the practice of leadership through…

Researchers at LIACS are working to devise the computers of tomorrow that will be the backbone of the Cloud and Edge computing paradigms as well as the Internet of Things. In this respect, we are involved in research and development of high performance computing systems, embedded & real-time computing…

Computers are capable of making incredibly accurate predictions on the basis of machine learning. In other words, these computers can learn without intervention once they have been pre-programmed by humans. At LIACS, we explore and push the borders of what a revolutionary new generation of algorithms…

The Astronomy & Society Group provides the focus for Leiden Observatory’s aim to engage the public with the wonders of the universe and share the scientific, technological, cultural and educational aspects of astronomy with society.

In the one-year Linguistics specialisation programme you will be able to focus on a specific thematic or disciplinary route, reflecting the linguistics expertise present at Leiden University.

Dynamic nuclear polarization with paramagnetic agents can enhance nuclear magnetic resonance signals by orders of magnitude. The mechanism of enhancement depends a.o. on the magnetic resonance properties of the agents used. Electron spin relaxation times at NMR relevant magnetic field/microwave frequencies,…

How can we make the production of chlorine cheaper and more friendly for the environment?

Many biological processes occur by biomolecules coming together and organizing into specific clusters without being bound to each other. These interactions range from clustering, transiently interacting (kiss and run), or assembling to multimeric units that can only function in conjunction. The hydrogen…

The Brain and Education Lab is located in the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences of Leiden University.

The goal of the MODOMA-project is to create a computer model of language acquisition.

Core Facilities are shared resources that provide access to instruments, technologies and services to researchers across the Institute of Biology. They are staffed by scientists with vast experience in their field, ensuring that all researchers can count not only on the latest available technology…

A main goal of MSBB research is to address the major bottle-necks in combatting viral diseases: the lack of experimental models that are representative of human pathology and are cost effective and versatile. Viral diseases such as those that cause viral hemorrhagic syndromes or severe acute respiratory…

Leiden is the place for Law

From where litter ends up to which languages are spoken in Leiden and The Hague: over 50 interesting, surprising, complex and entertaining questions were sent in for the Citizen Science project to mark our 444th anniversary. Not one but two Citizen Science projects will be starting this year in Leiden…
