Thesis Lab Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities

In the second academic semester (first half 2024), a dedicated ‘Thesis lab’ will take place under the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus (LDE) academic cooperation. Master students will do research and will write their thesis under an interdisciplinary theme: ‘Legal, Technical and Business related challenges for the use of satellite data for detecting and proving violations of humanitarian rights’.

Enrollment is open for students of the three universities. Participating institutions are the Kalshoven-Gieskes Forum on International Humanitarian Law, the International Institute of Air and Space Law, TU Delft Geosciences and the Erasmus/Rotterdam School of Management.

The Lab is a joint effort of the LDE organisation and SEHR.
