Flow Chemistry

Driven by the societal wish to increase the safety of chemical manufacturing and continuous technological developments, micro-reactor technology was introduced to the toolbox of synthetic organic chemists some ten years ago. This technology enables organic chemists to perform organic reactions in a

Ethics and Education

Reflecting on ethical issues is important for all academic professionals. To develop this skill, you will study theoretical backgrounds and discuss practical examples during the meetings. You will also work on specific assignments in small groups and write an essay on a topic of your own

Dynamic Business Models

Business is very dynamic. The first low-cost airline failed dramatically. Supply chains in many industries (e.g. real estate, beer distribution) face booms and busts: fluctuations in sales, inventory volumes and earnings. Many successful businesses lose their leading market position. Many promising

Debt & Inequality in the 21st Century

Debt and inequality rank among society's most pressing problems. Global socio-economic inequalities are on the rise and more people and countries than ever are indebted. These problematic tendencies recently spawned a new wave of reflection, spearheaded by the British-American anthropologist David

Death and Meaning Making in Europe

Death is expected to play an increasing role in the European societies of the near future, due to factors like aging populations, early diagnosis coupled with prolonged dying, rampant individualism, greater physical and social mobility, environmental degradation and, most recently, the threat of

Brain Computer Interfaces: How They Work and How to Build One

With the advent of cutting-edge technologies, we have developed new ways to measure human brain activity. The brain-computer interface (BCI) is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. Devices like these allow us to detect cognitive and sensory-motor functions such
