Singapore en Nederland zijn beide kleine, van export en handel afhankelijke landen omgeven door grote buren en wereldzeeën. Ze staan steevast in de top 10 van internationale rankings op het gebied van goed bestuur, ondernemerschap, leefbaarheid, innovatie en integriteit. ‘They punch above their weight’…

Stars like the sun are born in large molecular clouds existing from gas and dust. During the formation process, the chemical composition of the material can be altered drastically by the changing physical conditions.

Understanding how chemical complexity emerges during star formation requires connecting molecular material preserved in interstellar ices with that observed in the gas phase after protostellar heating begins.

The confinement of molecular catalysts in metal-organic frameworks has the potential to lead to significant improvements in selectivity, long term activity and catalyst stability.

Frans Stoelinga verdedigde zijn proefschrift 19 november 2020.

Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) have been detected in objects across different stages of stellar evolution.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an important bulk chemical that is used in various industrial processes. More than 95% of the H2O2 used in industry is made via the anthraquinone process during which a large amount of energy is going to waste.

Organic amendments applied to agricultural fields can partially offset our carbon emissions to the atmosphere and improve the resilience of agriculture to the effects of climate change. Driving these benefits, however, are complex and poorly understood interactions between organic amendment properties,…

Security and safety challenges rank among the most pressing issues of modern times. Challenges such as cyber-crime, terrorism, and environmental disasters impact the lives of millions across the globe. The course will introduce you to this broad theme in an increasingly complex world.

Het thema 'Health and well-being in a healthy society' is één van de speerpunten van de Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen (FSW). We zetten ons in voor het bevorderen van gezondheid en welzijn voor mensen van alle leeftijden.

Op 23 januari 2020 verdedigde Paula Kemp haar proefschrift 'Enforced performance of commercial sales contracts in the Netherlands, Singapore and China'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.mr.dr. H.B. Krans en prof.mr.dr. M.H. Wissink (RU Groningen).

In this Ph.D. thesis we study the interaction of low energy electrons with thin materials, namely layered materials (graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide) and organic films. At these low energies the quantum mechanical wavelength of the electron wave function is in the order of a…

Een groep van 52 wetenschappers van over de hele wereld heeft in een open brief de Singaporese premier opgeroepen om de aangifte tegen het multimediale platform New Naratif in te trekken. Ook hoogleraar Adriaan Bedner (Van Vollenhoven Instituut) ondertekende de brief.

Large areas of space are filled by molecular clouds that consist of gas and dust grains that are the remnants of dead stars. When these clouds start collapsing, the decreasing temperature and increasing density cause gas particles to start accreting onto dust grain surfaces.

Op 29 Juni 2017 heeft Doris Dull-Zessner haar proefschrift “Value Congruence in a Multinational Corporation” verdedigd. De supervisors zijn prof.dr.mr. J.A.A. Adriaanse and prof.dr. J.I. van der Rest.

Wout Broekema benadrukt dat organisaties niet alleen leren van crises, maar ook vergeten, waarbij cruciale kennis en werkwijzen verloren gaan.

This dissertation presents four separate chapters, all striving towards the same goal: to understand dynamic phenomena occurring in dynamic networks and to explore the emergence of equilibrium in a broad sense.

Welke kansen en bedreigingen vloeien voort uit de institutionele en normatieve diversiteit op het terrein van de rechten van de mens voor de effectieve bescherming van die rechten in een wereld die gekenmerkt wordt door pluralisme?

Make more fluid: In condensed matter systems, electrons can acquire unusual properties from their interaction with the atomic lattice.

Hein Laterveer, student bestuurskunde, won samen met 4 andere studenten en Engie de Rotterdam100, een ondernemerswedstrijd voor ideeën voor de ‘Next Economy’. De Nederlandse winnaars reisden af naar Signapore voor de grote finale. Hein vertelt over deze bijzondere reis en leerzame ervaring.

International trade has played a major role in defining the modern global economy. Trade, however, entangles the environmental pressures of economic sectors, giving the illusion of environmental improvements, while the opposite may be occurring.

Politicologische studie naar de opzet, samenstelling en het functioneren van parlementaire commissies.

In dit proefschrift staat het leren van ervaren docenten in een context van samenwerking in interdisciplinaire teams centraal.

An objective of this research was to achieve direct, well-defined and non-rate-limiting electron transfer between respiratory enzymes and the electrode surface by means of 'Q-wires'.

This thesis is concerned with the constitution of chiral responsive matrix assemblies that may undergo light-driven conformational changes and self-select vibrations to develop vibronic states for driving semi-classical coherent transfer with nearly 100% yield in a lossless NCAP process.
