Research at the Faculty of Science covers the full spectrum of natural sciences. No matter whether our researchers use a microscope or telescope, are focused on planet Earth or the universe, the present, past or future, they all have one thing in common: they are driven by a strong sense of curiosity about the fundamental workings of our world. They are also driven to apply this knowledge in order to solve the major social issues of our time. As a part of this effort, our institutes collaborate on in-depth multidisciplinary research themes and team up with numerous social and industrial partners.

Research environment

Eight research institutes are affiliated with the Faculty of Science in the disciplines of Astronomy, Computing Science, Biology, Logic, Physics, Mathematics, Life Sciences and Chemistry. 

Collaboration

Though fundamental in nature, the value of our research is boosted by collaboration with application-oriented partners. The Faculty of Science is positioned at the beginning of the knowledge value chain: through further development in society or industry our research has the potential to lead to innovation and new products.
