Brouwer promoveerde 8 juli op zijn onderzoek naar stuurbare vraag in elektriciteitsnetwerken.

PhD researcher Juliette Ermers from the AI Lab for Public Services is investigating how Parliament can gain control over the algorithmic implementation of legislation.

Since 11 May, Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� has added another eight AI labs. They all officially opened at the Utrecht AI Labs event, bringing the number of AI Labs in Utrecht to a total of 14.

On 26 November 2024, the Utrecht AI Event took place. This event focused on the power of multidisciplinary collaboration in AI research.

Professor of Game and Media Technology, Remco Veltkamp, will join the Utrecht AI Labs as scientific director starting 1 August.

The consortium’s research aims to result in a prototypical quantum computer which will overcome the conventional boundaries of standard information and computation technologies. Zeila Zanolli, associate professor at Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��, is one of the principal investigators.

In 2025, two new researchers began their doctoral research within the Utrecht AI Labs.

NWO has awarded Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��’s Botanic Gardens a Museum Grant worth 37.000 euros to digitise a portion of their extensive archive of seed lists. This allows researchers to discover previously hidden patterns. 

Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� has appointed Suzanne McGowan as Professor of Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics. McGowan aims to uncover how have water ecosystems been functioning, and how major changes on our planet affect this.

Thanks to an improved search engine, councillors and policy officers at the Municipality of Utrecht can now find the information they need more quickly.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis all have a unique and diverse set of antibodies that are involved in the development of the disease. Researchers unveiled the complexity of these antibodies using powerful lab tools and challenge current therapeutic approaches.

The number of initiatives in this field has grown enormously, but due to a lack of insight into their quality, there is a great need for impact assessment.

Bringing together chemists and physicists to thoroughly investigate how electrochemical processes work on the smallest scale. That is the goal of ANION.

Een nieuwe investering in een onderzoeksprogramma vormt het startsein voor het instituut CropXR, dat plantenbiologie, simulatiemodellen en kunstmatige intelligentie gaat integreren in slimme veredelingsmethoden.

Theoretical physicists at Utrecht ľ�ϸ���Ӱ��, together with experimental physicists at Sogang ľ�ϸ���Ӱ�� in South Korea, have succeeded in building an artificial synapse with water and salt.

“I am glad that these negative results are finally shared, as it helps prevent duplication of work and unnecessary suffering in laboratory animals.”

A 7.5 million euro grant allows researchers to lay the foundations for 'upgrading' plant material into a form that is just as tasty and nutritious as meat.

Over the next ten years, the Dutch government will invest 42 million Euros in CROP-XR, a consortium led by Prof. Guido van den Ackerveken.
