The institute concentrates on the study, both theoretical and observational, of the variability of stars and the properties and evolution of stars and circumstellar matter. - Stellar pulsation theory - asymptotic theory - nonlinear pulsations. - Asteroseismology from space. - Interpretation of photometric and spectroscopic variability of massive stars. - Chemical evolution of low- and intermediate-mass stars. - Studies of the properties of ...
Institute for European Studies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The key elements for the focus of our research are the following: * Role of the EU as a global actor * Interaction between the internal and external dimensions of EU policies This focus can be described in the following terms: Since the early 1970s, in parallel with the ongoing processes of deepening European integration and enlargement, the EU has increasingly asserted its role as a global actor in the broader international arena. ...
Research Group Psychiatry KU Leuven
Research group Psychiatry with six aspects of research: Contextual Psychiatry, Developmental Psychiatry, Public Health Psychiatry, Neuropsychiatry, Clinical Psychiatry and Mind-body Research.
Research Group Sustainable Development KU Leuven
Research is grouped into two research themes within this research group, Global Development and Environmental Policy respectively, which in turn are also split up into priority research lines.
GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT
HIVA executes a diverse set of research and evaluation activities related to global development and development cooperation. Its research seeks to inform policy and practice and features the following areas of ...
Centre Leo Apostel Vrije Universiteit Brussel
CLEA investigates the possibilities of interdisciplinary research, concentrating on the search for integrating world views. In a rapidly changing and complex society, scientific, social, and cultural knowledge is fragmented. This fragmentation leads to a growing gap between the exact sciences and the humanities (the two cultures), and between the layman and the specialist in general. Even more it entails the alienation of humankind from his ...
Department of Mathematical physics and astronomy Ghent University
Centre for Political Research KU Leuven
The members of the Center for Political Research focus on the central institutions and processes of decision-making, inherent in contemporary democracies. Therefore, four major domains are central in their research strategy: elections, political parties and social organisations, parliaments and governments. In the analyses and publications both structural and cultural determinants of the functioning of democracies and its patterns of ...
