Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).

The Center for Law and Digital Technologies (eLaw) was founded in 1985 and has a leading role in research and education on law and digital technologies.

This study aims to reveal how national, regional, public and private television stations in Indonesia – each in their own ways and for their own aims - represent aspects of Javaneseness.

Carbon dioxide capture and utilization technologies are necessary to create a truly circular economy. The electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide to formate is an appealing carbon utilization method as it can be performed at room temperature and pressure, it only requires two electrons, and it has…

The redox-conversion reaction of metal-disulfide and metal-thiolate complexes are important, as they may shed light on electron-transfer reactions that often occur in Nature.

This doctoral trajectory explores sound, its image and its role in relating humans and our technologies to the environment.

These aspects make the Media Technology MSc program unique:

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

Tin electrodeposition applications have rapidly evolved in the past 25 years.

Developing new methods for performing improvised music

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

This thesis focuses on the concepts of freedo and fixity as two central topics of my artistic research. I present, analyze. and contextualize four of my works which have explicit links to fleedom and fixify and which demonstrate the dynamic interrelationship between the two.

In some condensed matter systems, such as the surface of a 3D topological insulator, the electrons are effectively massless and we must necessarily use the massless Dirac equation to describe them.

Chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis affect both the physical and psychological well-being of millions of patients, leading to persistent symptoms like itchiness and sleeplessness. These conditions often result in decreased productivity and quality of life overall,…

The HJD Article Award is given to the published research article which best advances the theoretical and/or empirical study of diplomacy.

The HJD Book Award is given to the author(s) of the book that best advances the theoretical and/or empirical study of diplomacy.

With textnets it is possible to visualize and analyze textual data in novel ways.

Since the horrific events of October 7, 2023, Leiden students have grappled with difficult questions about Israel, Gaza and Israel/Palestine conflict more generally. Drawing on her expertise in the history of the Jewish experience in the diaspora and beyond, Prof. dr. Sarah Cramsey has held multiple…

Decent work involves opportunities for work that delivers a fair income, care for occupational health and safety, freedom for people to organize and equality of opportunity and treatment for all women and men. The Labour Law department at Leiden University conducts research and provides education on…

A 24 person classroom on the floor 0 of the Pieter de la Court building. Designed for groupwork, rolling, flexible tables and chairs are arranged around shared monitors. Each group has a small whiteboard. The frontal projection point has a short-throw projector with motion tracking and live annotation.…

The Organising Committee and the Scientific Committee consist of the following people:

The EU and the World is a Jean Monnet Chair, awarded to Karolina Pomorska (Institute of Political Science, Leiden University). Its aim is to promote and strengthen teaching and research in European Studies in Leiden and in The Hague.

Where are the Women in Global Governance and in peace processes?

The Mathematical Institute has a rather liberal management structure. Tasks and responsibilities are distributed among the staff. Important decisions are taken by consensus. Various organisational divisions are featured below.

An overview of awards and prizes granted to our staff and students in 2017, as well as special appointments and royal distinctions.

Recently, NWO has decided to grant two interdisciplinary research proposals for national and international consortia submitted by researchers from the Institute of Biology Leiden. One of the proposals is led by Prof. dr. Ariane Briegel, the other one by dr. Remko Offringa.

With the aid of physics and a minuscule magnet, researchers have discovered a new structure of telomeric DNA. Telomeres are sometimes seen as the key to living longer. They protect genes from damage but get a bit shorter each time a cell divides. If they become too short, the cell dies. The new discovery…

Making all those things we normally cannot see visible is the challenge that fascinates Fons Verbeek, Leiden's new Professor of Computational Bio-Imaging. Contributions from chemistry, optics and in particular computational sciences to making and processing these images give greater insight into the…

Distinguished Fellows of Leiden University College The Hague are acknowledged for their extensive and outstanding expertise in the private or public sector, and for their intellectual contributions to LUC’s academic programme and scholarly community.

The Faculty of Humanities has two advisory groups for Diversty & Inclusion: one for staff members and one for students.
