-
Discipline-Specific Thinking in Science Teacher Education
This project develops and studies a course for pre-service biology, chemistry, and physics teachers to help them connect subject knowledge, teaching practice, and the new Dutch curriculum focus on scientific ways of thinking and working.
-
Beyond lecturing vs. Active learning in Chemistry Teaching
The goal is to better understand how university chemistry instructors teach in real classrooms and what helps them use more engaging teaching practices.
-
SHASAI
SHASAI focuses on improving the security, resilience, and trustworthiness of AI-based and high-risk systems across hardware and software.
-
CipherEngine
CipherEngine’s goal is to increase students’ interest and engagement in STEM education, particularly in the fields of cybersecurity and cryptography.
-
What are you waiting for? Procrastinate less for students.
Procrastination is highly prevalent among students and associated with adverse outcomes. In this project, we implement an evidence-informed video training to help students procrastinate less, and will make it available to all RU students.
-
ASCEND
Project ASCEND investigates the role of psychosocial factors (such as rejection, self-compassion and social support) in developmental challenges experienced by young adults with ADHD symptoms.
-
Camouflaging at Work: The Invisible Effort of ADHD
This research explores how adults with ADHD camouflage/mask at work, and the costs and benefits for health and work (e.g., burnout, performance).
-
Pedagogical Reasoning of University Organic Chemistry Instructors
Organic Chemistry is a key challenge in STEM education. This project investigates university instructors’ pedagogical content knowledge using a literature review, a vignette-based think-aloud study, and a quantitative assessment.
-
Strategic collaboration between Political Science RU and PBL
In this project, researchers from Political Science and Social Sciences are studying the politicisation and polarisation of environmental issues, and in particular (the lack of) support for nitrogen and climate policy.
-
STRONGER2GETHER: Strengthening social relationships
STRONGER2GETHER helps young people flourish by strengthening social relationships to mental health. Focusing on vocational education students, we co-create and test interventions in schools and online, embedding insights in curricula for impact.
-
Assessment Framework for Translatability of Animal Studies
The project aims to develop a prototype framework for assessing the translatability of preclinical animal studies to the clinic.
-
MicroSafe: Safe Climate-Resilient Engineered Water Systems
MicroSafe will make water systems safer by predicting and controlling the growth of pathogenic microbes like Legionella in cooling towers and irrigation systems in The Netherlands and Brazil.
-
Quantative Imaging That (White) Matters
This project aims to develop open-science software solutions to extract quantitative MRI markers to be used in clinical imaging.
