Research In research, the Faculty of Science has a worldwide leading position in various topics. In the past decade, we have been awarded with 3 ERC Synergy Grants, 16 ERC Advanced Grants, 6 Spinoza grants as well as 2 NWO Gravity programmes. The number of publications in top periodicals and their impact have been increasing steadily, as well as the number of researchers.The excellence of our study programmes is reflected in the high ranking of these programmes. However, excellence in itself is not enough. We want to make a broad, positive impact on society. We aim to do so by maintaining the connections between education, science and society. These connections are crucially important in meeting society’s growing need to contribute to solving major issues in cooperation with companies, governments and civil society organisations. We create this collaboration by establishing relationships with external partners, and by engaging them actively in our research and education agenda. Education Our institutes are directly involved with the education in our Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes: Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Molecular Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, and Science. Our students work side by side with many top scientists and make use of our state-of-the-art facilities. read more
