Understanding brain diseases with a unique new approach

To unravel the molecular mechanisms behind brain diseases, the Institute for Chemical Neuroscience (iCNS) was recently established. We talk about this with chair Inge Huitinga and Paul Lucassen.
How we can improve our poor water quality

The water quality in the Netherlands is the worst in Europe. We talk about this with Annemarie van Wezel, professor of Environmental Ecology, and discuss how we can improve the water quality.
From linear to circular: chemistry for a sustainable future

The increasing number of batteries and solar cells can lead to more chemical waste. Chris Slootweg, associate professor in physical organic chemistry, sees an essential role for chemistry in preventing this.
Failure by design: creating the ideal shock absorber

Cars and other motorised vehicles are built in such a way that when they crash, their front-end crumples and any passengers inside don’t feel the full force of the impact. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam ...
Revolutionizing biodiversity monitoring with a network of automated wildlife cameras

What if we could keep an eye on nature 24/7 without constantly being there? Researchers at the University of Amsterdam Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED) have teamed up with Waternet in a nature ...

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.

Enterprising students and researchers who see opportunities to do more with their academic expertise can apply for support from Caempus and Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA).
