Prof. Dr Marcelo Ackermann has been appointed professor of Physics of Nanolithography at the Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam. The position is a joint professorship at UvA and partner university Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU).
On Friday 18 September, the whole of Amsterdam will be tidying up the city. For the fifth edition of Amsterdam Cleanup Day, thousands of Amsterdammers will take to the streets to pick up litter. The UvA is taking part again.
Shortly before the summer, the UvA-wide Policy Framework for External Collaboration was adopted. This framework sets out the principles on which the policy for collaboration and its ethical assessment have been developed. It also defines the roles and responsibilities of all those involved and provides guidance for developing faculty-level policies on collaboration with third parties.
Nearly a century after they were first recorded, songs, poems and dances from East Flores returned this month to the communities where they were once documented. The restitution project, led by UvA musicologist Barbara Titus, shows that archives only truly gain meaning in dialogue with the people whose heritage they contain.
Italy responded to events in Ceuta by imposing border controls on travellers arriving from Spain. Germany has once again extended its controversial border controls. Schengen promises free movement across Europe, yet temporary border checks are becoming increasingly common. According to political scientist Lisa Herbig, these measures do more than create queues and missed train connections for EU citizens; they can also erode trust in political actors and fuel hostility towards migrants.
For its review of the Bail Act 1985 (SA), the South Australian Law Reform Institute (SALRI) is now commencing its community engagement, including visits to towns in regional South Australia, to seek input from interested parties and individuals.
A new National Bureau of Economic Research from the University of California San Diego shows that wildfire damage can have long-term economic consequences for households, resulting in income losses, relocation of residents as well as slow rebuilding for several years after a fire.

As residents' daily living standards continue to improve, the demand for high-quality protein in farming and other fields has increased significantly, and the supply is insufficient. At the same time, urban food waste production is large, and traditional disposal processes have high carbon emissions, low resource conversion efficiency, and high energy consumption. The protein supply gap and the problem of food waste disposal are superimposed, and there is an urgent need to build efficient and coordinated resource solutions.
