Some examples of research questions include: What framework of circular strategies should local practitioners use? How should practitioners organize their monitoring of the circular economy activities in the region of interest? What are the main products that have the most circular potential in the…

Examining if large scale application of new energy pathways can be constrained by materials and emissions.

CERA (CErtification of RAw Materials) is a four-year project that will develop a standardized certification scheme ensuring environmental, social and economic sustainability in extraction, processing, trading and manufacturing of all mineral raw materials. It will guarantee traceability of certified…

Where and how are critical materials currently used and how can this information be used to develop scenarios about their future demand.

Wat is mechanica van zachte materialen (o.a. schuim, zand)?

SEAtrans: an interdisciplinary research project that aims at studying the dynamics and processes of transitions in society-nature interactions in Southeast Asian societies.

Hoe kunnen we onze maatschappij zo inrichten dat de wereld leefbaar blijft voor onszelf en al het andere leven om ons heen? Aan dat vraagstuk werken Leidse wetenschappers samen vanuit allerlei disciplines, van biologie tot datawetenschap en van milieueconomie tot archeologie.

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?

Artificial intelligence algorithms govern in subtle, yet fundamental ways, the way we live and are transforming our societies. The promise of efficient, low‐cost or ‘neutral’ solutions harnessing the potential of big data has led public bodies to adopt algorithmic systems in the provision of public…

De wereldbevolking is in de afgelopen eeuw exponentieel gegroeid, en daarmee ook onze behoefte aan energie en materialen. Willen we in de toekomst ook in welvaart leven, dan zullen we onze economie en consumptie radicaal anders moeten inrichten. Wetenschappelijk onderzoek laat zien hoe dat kan.
