To make the Dutch water systems climate robust and able to deal with future droughts and floods, we need to make significant changes in the water system. These changes have to be made both in the physical water system and in the water governance system. Achieving this water transition requires coordination, dialogue and making hard decisions. **Your...

You will collaborate with UMC Utrecht, as well as external partners including InfoSupport, E-health academy, Diabetesfonds, mental health institutes, MIND, and De Nederlandse GGZ. The Social and Affective Computing group...

**Work Activities**: - Scientific background - _The energy consumption of computers is a significant scientific and societal problem: Information technology is already responsible for more CO2 emissions than the airline industry. At the fundamental level, the energy cost of a computation is dictated by the laws of thermodynamics: computations must evolve in...

**Work Activities**: How do you design optical metasurfaces that efficiently radiate UV light by nonlinear frequency conversion? How do the geometry of meta-atoms and their arrangement in the metasurface translate into beam structuring, i.e., control over the amplitude, phase and polarization distribution of the emitted light ? What physical mechanisms...

**Your job**: **Position 1: Poetics of Eco-violence**: This subproject will contribute to recent scholarship on eco-poetics by exploring the aesthetic, political, and affective affordances of literature, specifically poetry, for representing eco-violence, past and ongoing.
