As the exploration content also is related to the Utrecht Center for Game Research external link, the AI & Media Lab external link, the focus area of Governing the Digital Society external link, and the exploration theme Dynamics of Youth external link, this allows for numerous, interdisciplinary collaborations.
At the Faculty of Science external link, there are 6 departments to make a abecedarian connection with Biology, Chemistry, Information and Computing lores, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical lores, and drugs.
Each of these is made up of distinct institutes that work together to concentrate on answering some of humanity’s most burning problems. More abecedarian still are the individual exploration groups – the structure blocks of our ambitious scientific systems. Find out further about us external link.
Utrecht University external linkis a friendly and ambitious university at the heart of an ancient megacity. We love to drink new scientists to our megacity – a thriving artistic mecca that's constantly rated as one of the world’s happiest metropolises.
