The H boson gateway to physics beyond the Standard Model Ghent University
In 2012, a scalar particle has been discovered at the LHC (CERN). As of today, its properties
match those of the Higgs boson of the Standard Model (SM), the current theory of
fundamental interactions. This discovery has crowned 50 years of research, including seminal
work done in Belgium by Brout and Englert. It has also opened a new era for particle
physicists, with more-than-ever pressing mysteries to face, including ...

Compulsary admission in Flanders: epidemiology and decision making. KU Leuven
Een gedwongen opname is een controversieel en maatschappelijk relevant thema en vormt steevast voer voor discussies over wanneer dwang al dan niet mag gebruikt worden, over wanneer veiligheid primeert boven vrijheid, en vice versa. Bovendien is GO op het eerste zicht een maatregel die contrasteert met de huidige tendens tot vermaatschappelijking van zorg, waarin vooral nadruk ligt op patiëntemancipatie, autonomie en zelfbeschikking. De ...
SRP (Zwaartepunt): Crossing borders: crime, culture and controle Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The right to social security in the European Union: a comparative analysis on the basis of the constitutional traditions common to the EU Member States, the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter. KU Leuven
The outbreak of the financial and economic crisis had a severe impact on national economies worldwide, including those of the member states of the European Union (EU). Several EU member states with financial difficulties received financial support by the EU institutions. In return, they were obliged to reduce public spending and as a result, national social security systems were drastically reformed. Since the financial and economic crisis, ...
The principle of proportionality and its criticism. An analysis of the case law. KU Leuven
The proposed research aims to assess the criticism advanced against the principle of proportionality, and to determine how this criticism can be relevant in refining that principle. This will be done through an in-depth analysis of the case law of the two courts at the heart of legal Europe: the Court of Justice of the European Union (“CJEU”) and the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR”).
Today, the principle of proportionality is ...
