Religion plays an important role in the rhetoric used by the Russians to justify the war. Ukraine, and mostly Kiev, is presented by Russia as a cultural and religious asset for Russian identity and ambitions. What is more, the current war is interpreted as an existential and apocalyptic fight between good and evil.
View webinarHet IPCC klimaatrapport van 2022 maakt duidelijk dat de wereld grote risico’s loopt door de toenemende opwarming van de aarde. Ook is duidelijk dat maatregelen om de toenemende CO2 concentratie in de atmosfeer terug te brengen door de omschakeling van fossiele brandstoffen naar duurzame alternatieven, alleen niet voldoende zijn. Naast deze maatregelen zijn ook zogenaamde negatieve emissietechnologieën (NET) nodig om actief de CO2 concentratie in de atmosfeer te verminderen.
View webinarThe Tractatus gives rise to many exciting issues of interpretation. The speakers of the Heyting Day will throw light on some of these issues, especially on Wittgenstein’s views on the nature of logic and on the role of the first person in the Tractatus.
View webinarIn her lecture Upinder Singh, Professor of History, Ashoka University, Sonepat, India, argues that the fundamental template of ancient Indian political ideology and religious policy was established during the period c. 200 BCE-300 CE through a continuous dialogic process revealed in the manner in which kings inscribed their power on their realm. She does so by drawing on epigraphic evidence to focus on three themes.

View webinarDespite its many secrets and wonders, oceans have been under threat for years. Corals are dying and sea life is disappearing. Although this is a global phenomenon, some people are affected more than others—and as with many a climate issue, these inequalities bear witness of the afterlife of (post)colonialism. In this talk, we shed light on the ambiguous nature of marine protection and the colonial dimensions of ocean health.
View webinarOn 14 December, Neth-ER is hosting a hybrid event on Science for Policy in EU member states. How do we better connect science with policymaking in and between member states?
View webinarReasoning about causal relationships is an important topic across the sciences. Last year's Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded to Guido Imbens, foreign member of the KNAW. Together with Joshua Angrist, he received the prize for their central role in shaping how researchers understand and analyse causal relationships, using natural experiments. These are situations arising in real life that resemble randomised experiments, e.g. arising from natural random variations, institutional rules or policy changes.
