European and international data law: Empirical perspectives
Researchers with innovative research projects on European and international data law are invited to broaden, strengthen and/or critically question existing knowledge on European Union (EU) and global data law, and most notably privacy and data protection law, with original empirical research on c

Exploring the stochastic astrophysical and cosmological gravitational wave background: from modeling to observation
This proposal focuses on the stochastic background of gravitational waves (SBGW), both of astrophysical and of cosmological origin. One aspect of this proposal is the modeling of the SBGW originating in the early universe.

FCC physics studies
The HEP@VUB centre has been involved with the physics studies on the Future Circular Collider (FCC). This project uses a staged approach, in which a new, 100-km tunnel is first used for electron-positron collisions (FCC-ee), after which the complex is upgraded to collide hadrons (FCC-hh).
