Naar schatting bestaat de wereldbevolking over twintig jaar uit ongeveer 8,7 miljard mensen, terwijl dat aantal nu 7,3 miljard is. Deze groei, gecombineerd met de bijbehorende groei in consumptie en de verbeteringen in levensstandaarden, zal resulteren in een enorme groei in de vraag naar voedsel, verbruiksgoederen,…

The Institute of Environmental Sciences has carried out and participates in several projects that deal with the analysis of energy systems.

Solar energy is used by photosynthetic organisms to drive energy required cellular processes. Is absorbed by two groups of pigments, located in the LHCs.

The solar system was formed approximately 4.56 billion years ago. Despite the numerous theories that have been developed over the years, the formation and evolution of the solar system still remain unclear.

The STW project Energy Efficient Computer-Brain Interaction (principal investigator for LIACS: dr. T.P. Stefanov) has been granted. Funding for LIACS: 1 PhD student + travel/equipment budget, project duration: 4 years.

HEPGAME is a research project that combines the world’s fastest computer algebra system for High Energy Physics equations, FORM, with insights from artificial intelligence. The name combines High Energy Physics and Games.

The theoretical explanation of cosmic acceleration is nowadays one of the biggest puzzles in cosmology.

The long-held desire - to link structure directly to function and to explain molecular mechanisms based on basic chemical or physical principles - is finally coming closer, satisfying not only our scientific curiosity but also offering new solutions to the many challenges in the field of health, energy…

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

With the energy transition toward a renewable energy supply and a CO2-neutral economy, electrification of the energy system is rising in importance, which leads to the challenge of long-term storage of renewable electricity.

The growing demand of energy indicates that global energy resources in the form of fossil fuels will not be sufficient in the future. In order to solve potential future energy problems development of a sustainable hydrogen economy is highly desirable.

Planten, algen en bacteriën zetten zonlicht om in chemische energie. In een workshop van het Lorentz Center inventariseren onderzoekers de mogelijkheden om dit proces van fotosynthese te benutten en imiteren, met het oog op een duurzame brandstofvoorziening. De vrijdagmiddagsessie is openbaar.

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

The thesis explores how interstellar chemistry evolves as a function of time and changing physical architectures during the formation of stars.

Has the industrial sector in China effectively been decarbonizing in recent years, across different regions and subsectors, and is it plausible that it will reduce its CO2 emissions in conformity with national and internationally pledged emission goals?

How to contribute to a quantum leap of eco-industrial symbiosis in China?
