  • Europe in times of war

    Europe isn’t safe anymore. For decades we thought that nothing would threaten our continent. Didn’t we have the diplomatic channels of the European Union, the NATO and other institutions? Drs.

  • Mark Rutte: duivelskunstenaar

  • Climate change and geopolitics

    Because of climate change geopolitical structures might shift. The ice of the North Pole for instance is melting. Superpowers like Russia have shown their interest in the huge oil and gas supplies there. Does a new cold war lurks at the horizon? Other example: in order to reduce CO2 countries are using more renewable energy sources. Can they become independent of gas- and oil suppliers like Russia and the Middle East or will other dependencies arise? Coby van der Linde, professor of Geopolitics & Energy (University of Groningen) and director of the Clingendael International Energy Program, sheds light on shifting perspectives.

  • What is the impact of melting ice sheets?
    In the last few decades, the vast ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have started to lose more and more ice due to rising temperatures. It could lead to multi-metre sea level rise worldwide. But how fast and by how much? Peter Kuipers Munneke explains.

  • Stem cells: immortality or healthy ageing?
    Scientists are now able to reprogram any cell of the human body into pluripotent stem cells. This creates many possibilities for biomedical research because these stem cells can be turned into many other cell types sensitive to disease or drugs that are not normally accessible through tissue donation. Prof.dr. Christine Mummery succeeded in growing these stem cells into heart- and vessels ‘on-a-chip’.
