Welcome to Utrecht Summer School I am delighted to present to you the programme of Utrecht Summer School 2011.

This year, once again, we will be offering students from all over the world a variety of academic summer courses that differ in subject, level and duration. We are proud to present various new and challenging courses in our offer. For example, the number of courses offered in the field of medical and veterinary sciences has increased considerably.

We are pleased that our excellent cooperation with the Hogeschool Utrecht (University of Applied Sciences) is yet again reflected in a number of summer courses. This year we will again be working together with a wide selection of partners throughout the Netherlands. Furthermore, we are extremely pleased with the outstanding collaboration with our international partners and the resulting courses in not only Utrecht, but several other European cities as well.

International students at Utrecht Summer School will certainly find themselves in good company. In 2011, over two thousand international students have come to Utrecht to participate in one or more of our courses. With some 80 nationalities working and studying closely together, students learn to work in an international environment from the start - essential for scientists in an increasingly globalised world.

I hope you will enjoy reading this brochure, which is bound to contain something to your liking. I look forward to seeing you in Utrecht this summer.

Prof. Dr. G.J. van der Zwaan Rector Magnificus of Utrecht University

Here we are, after the lustrum last year, at the start of another 25 years of Utrecht Summer School! I am very excited for you to see what the summer school has to offer in 2012. Our course offer is tremendously varied, with courses in all of the university’s faculties and ranging from bachelor to PhD level. Whether you are a PhD student concerned with medicine, a bachelor student with a keen interest in art history, or an international, looking to learn the Dutch language; we have a course that suits your needs. Our course offer also contains an international part; what better way to study business than to go the textile industry in Northern Italy? What better way to study Renaissance art than to go to the Uffizi in Florence?

Of course, your summer school experience does not have to end after a course of one or two weeks.

Consider combining a few courses to truly get a feel of your subject. You can find some of our most well known combinations in this brochure in the form of ‘special tracks’. These tracks not only allow you to easily apply for a combination of courses, they also generally result in a substantial discount. If you are looking to combine a different set of courses, go ahead and combine to create the ideal course package.

Utrecht Summer School is not solely about studying.

We offer student housing, so that you do not have to worry about finding a place to stay. We also offer an extensive social programme, so that you will easily meet other students.

This mix of a varied and academically challenging course offer with student housing and an extensive social programme ultimately results in a very exciting summer. Take your time and look through this brochure to find the course that will take you to Utrecht Summer School in 2012.

You can apply through our website. Here you will find also more detailed information on each course.

We hope to see you this summer.

Drs. Jeroen L. Torenbeek Director Utrecht Summer School

Holland The Dutch combine history and traditional culture with innovation, modernism and an international orientation. While Holland likes to emphasize its highly industrialized features, the Dutch have not let go of their background, often making use of the possibility to go for a quiet stroll along the historic canals that run through town.

Holland, or the Netherlands The Netherlands is a kingdom. Its official name is the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It consists of the Netherlands itself and Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, in the Caribbean Sea. The country’s name in Dutch is Nederland, meaning ‘low country’ and referring to the fact that much of the land is at or below sea level. Today the Netherlands is also called ’Holland‘, a name that is derived from the names of two western coastal provinces, North and South Holland. These provinces were the

6

most developed and wealthiest parts of the country in the seventeenth century and they played a dominant role in the country’s history.

Geography Holland is situated in the west of Europe and borders Germany to the east, Belgium to the south and the North Sea to the north and west. This small country lies at the point where the German, British and French cultures meet. What strikes people most when they first arrive in Holland is the landscape: the country is extremely flat. While there are some hilly areas in the southeast corner of the country, even these barely infringe on the broad, unbroken expanse of sky that is so characteristic of the Dutch landscape.

Moreover, water can be found everywhere, in the form of lakes, rivers, canals and the sea. Holland’s relatively small area of slightly over 41,000 square kilometres is home to over 16 million people.

Society Dutch society is home to over 190 different nationalities living in its many cities and villages. For decades, the country’s historical ties with other parts of the world have brought people of non-Dutch origin to settle in Holland, which makes the Dutch generally openminded, freedom loving and tolerant towards foreigners. This cultural diversity has made Holland a place where knowledge, ideas and cultures from all over the world come together. Although Dutch is the national language, the majority of the population also speaks English and very often another foreign language, such as German or French.

Mentality The Netherlands is a ‘self-service country’. The Dutch try to manage most things themselves, which makes them very independent and organized. Another distinctive characteristic of the Dutch is their openness and direct manner of

acting and speaking. You will notice that you can say exactly what is on your mind, as the Dutch are not easily offended. Dutch society is organized in a non-hierarchical way. For example, teachers tend to be very accessible and true interlocutors for their students.

You will be on familiar terms with everybody in almost no time.

Utrecht City The history of the city goes back to 47 AD when the Roman emperor Claudius ordered his general Corbulo to build a defensive line along the river Rhine, which was the northern most border of the empire. One of the strongholds (or Castella) along the river was built at a crossing in the river and was called Traiectum (which means crossing place). In the local language this became Trecht, UutTrecht (lower-Trecht) and later Utrecht. At the place where once the castellum stood now stands the Dom church built in the 13th century.

Nowadays, Utrecht is a lively city in the geographical centre of the Netherlands. It is not only an important junction where traffic, trade, distribution and services meet and mingle, but also a true knowledge centre: apart from Utrecht University and the HU University of Applied Sciences, it houses important research institutes and several other institutes of higher education. With its 300,000 inhabitants, Utrecht is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands and with no less than 70,000 of the inhabitants being students, Utrecht is a true student city.

Several canals crisscross the city and encircle the city centre. The Dom tower is the focal point of the city: with a height of 112 meters, it offers a magnificent view over the city. To the south of the Dom is the city’s museum quarter. There you will find a varied offering of excellent museums in a setting of picturesque courtyards, unexpected

small restaurants and delightful little shops.

Along the canals you will find a rare phenomenon, of which Utrecht citizens are extremely proud: the wharves. These wharves, which provide direct access to cellars, were used for the loading and unloading of ships and the storage of goods in the Middle Ages. These days, they are mostly used as outdoor terraces for restaurants. Sitting by the water, you can enjoy a drink or a meal looking over the decoratively lit canal.

In terms of culture, Utrecht is a real festival city, with festivals like the Spring Dance Festival, the Holland Early Music Festival, The Holland Animation Festival and the Dutch Film Festival. When not hosting a festival, Utrecht is the stage for ‘Cultural Sundays’ - cultural events inspired by a location, theme or particular art form.

Higher education in the Netherlands

Utrecht University (UU)

The education system in Holland is known for its high quality in education and research and its international study environment. In addition, with 1,560 international study programmes and courses, it has the largest offer of continental Europe. Holland has two main types of higher education.

Research universities focus on the independent practice of researchoriented work in an academic or professional setting, while universities of applied sciences are more

Utrecht University is a research university comprising of seven faculties which collectively span the entire academic spectrum in teaching and research. Founded in 1636, the University is now a modern, leading institute enjoying a growing international reputation.

In the prestigious Shanghai Academic Rankings of World Universities 2011, Utrecht University ranks 1st in the Netherlands, 12th in Europe and 48th worldwide.

Utrecht University offers a broad range of 45 undergraduate and 175 graduate programmes, the latter including many English-taught programmes. There are more than 30,000 students at Utrecht University and 7,500 members of staff. Every year, more than 2,000 international degree-seeking students and international researchers stay in Utrecht for variable periods of time.

Utrecht University is linked to the names of many prominent academics among whom are Buys Ballot, Donders, Rudolf Magnus,

Van Unnik and Freudenthal. The list also includes Nobel Prize Winners such as Gerard ‘t Hooft from the Faculty of Physics and Astronomy.

More information: www.uu.nl/EN

HU University of Applied Sciences (HU) Hogeschool Utrecht University of Applied Sciences (HU) was founded in 1995, the result of a merger of several independent institutions.

The HU is the third largest university of applied sciences in the Netherlands. It has over 38,000

students (including 1200 international students) with more than one hundred different nationalities. The HU offers a wide range of courses spread out over nine principal themes. Most of the 80 programmes lead to a Bachelor’s degree, and some lead to a Master’s degree. Several programmes are taught in English.

All courses are geared towards the practical aspects of the disciplines and the teaching is competence based with the emphasis on professional skills and work placements.

More information: www.international.hu.nl

Social programme Utrecht Summer School not only offers you a fine selection of interesting courses in all kinds of disciplines, it also intends to give the participants an unforgettable stay.

Therefore we invite all students during the months July and August to an attractive social programme, which includes excursions, sports, social gatherings and festivities.

To give you an impression: last year’s programme contained city trips throughout the Netherlands, night canoeing through the canals in downtown Utrecht, an international picnic in a windmill, a weekly social drink, a pub quiz, (guided) trips to famous museums and an excursion to the Dutch dikes and delta works. Plus, our biweekly welcome dinners provide the perfect opportunity to get to know newly arrived summer school students.

The activities mentioned above will provide the right setting for you to meet international students from other summer school courses and to get to know your class mates better! A full overview of all activities in 2012 is available online. You can book your tickets online to ensure your place!

Faculty of Humanities (UU)

Faculty of Humanities (UU)

This course offers an introduction to Europe, a continent of great diversity. Each of its countries and peoples carry their own cultures, religions, traditions and languages, yet the majority of them are now engaged in a joint project aimed at political and economic integration in the European Union. This course aims to introduce you to the main challenges and opportunities of this project. Students will analyse topics such as the emergence and construction of national identity and culture; processes of globalisation and internationalisation and their effects on local cultures; and different national approaches to social issues.

This course will examine how the Holocaust and other genocides affected European society. Which political, economic and social circumstances led to these crimes against humanity in modern Europe?

How can we explain the recurrence of war-related violence in a globalized society? How did European societies deal with the genocidal practices of the twentieth century? Students will explore the many questions around the holocaust, genocide, and their long-term effects on society during lectures and seminar groups. The course will also include a number of excursions to the Anne Frank House and the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam, and to the site of the Westerbork concentration camp.

Tuscany and the Low Countries: Artistic Relations (1450-1650) The Dutch University Institute for Art History in Florence In fifteenth century Italy, Netherlandish paintings became prized collector items among wealthy Italian bankers and merchants who went to the Low Countries for business. They were struck by the extraordinary degree of realism northern painting exhibited thanks to use of oil painting. This course offers a unique opportunity to understand why Netherlandish painting made such an impression on Italian collectors and painters and to what extent Italian Renaissance painting was influenced by it. Topics that will be covered are: The Medici and early Netherlandish art (patronage); the impact of Netherlandish painting on painting in Italy, especially in Florence.

Nothing Is What It Seems: Dutch Art of the Golden Age Faculty of Humanities (UU) Until recently, Dutch art of the Golden Age was seen as technically good, but not very interesting. It was considered too realistic; where was the artistic imagination? Today, this opinion on Dutch art has changed and the value of Golden Age artworks has soared. So, what is the true meaning behind all these seascapes and still lifes that look so real that you can feel the sea-breeze and smell the grapes? Discover what is so special about Dutch Golden Age art; in this course you will embark on a fascinating journey where nothing is what it seems.

From Van Gogh to Picasso: Modern European and Dutch Art Faculty of Humanities (UU) Many people feel at a loss as to how to approach a modern artwork: it is too abstract, too strange, and they feel locked out from being able to interact with it. Dutch modern art made a unique contribution to the whirlpool of European modern movements, but some artists are barely known to an international audience. This course tackles both issues: it provides you with tools to understand and experience modern art and provides you with both a general overview of European modern art and a specialist one of Dutch modern art.

History of Art: Relations between Italy and the Netherlands SPECIAL TRACK

Faculty of Humanities (UU) in cooperation with The Dutch University Institute for Art History in Florence Today, both Italian Renaissance art and Dutch Golden Age art have conquered their prime positions in the art history books. But in the 16th and 17th centuries, the ‘Northern’ style of painting was seen as very different from the ‘Southern’ one. Even though artists from both traditions influenced each other, there were ongoing disputes about which style was the best one.

This course offers an opportunity to travel back in time and experience the art from both traditions first hand, staying in two cities that played a pivotal part in their country’s art: Florence and Utrecht.

Evolution of Language Faculty of Humanities (UU)

Language

Human language is complex and results from interacting simpler systems, which each may have had a long evolutionary history of its own. Nevertheless, the way these modules are integrated into a working system has been novel as well as recent. Relevant questions that will be addressed in this course include: Which systems are uniquely human (speciesspecific) and uniquely linguistic (domain-specific)?

Did core properties of human language evolve gradually and adaptively from gestural or vocal systems of animal communication? Or was their evolution saltational and exaptive? What was the primary function of language? Communication or an efficient way of organising cognitive systems?

Micro & Macro Variation in Language Faculty of Humanities (UU) In this course, linguistic variation across human languages is studied from two comparative perspectives.

In the first part of the course students are introduced to the field of macro variation, the systematic study of the similarities and differences between the world’s more than 5000 natural languages. The second part of the course focuses on the study of micro variation – the study of language systems that are very similar, such as closely related languages, or dialects of the same language. We will look at micro variation from a syntactic point of view, and discuss the relevance of phenomena such as syntactic dialect variation for linguistic theory.

Introduction to Generative Syntax

Statistics for Experimental Linguists

Faculty of Humanities (UU)

Faculty of Humanities (UU)

In this course, students will be taught the basics of the theoretical framework evolved from and based on Chomsky (1981). One of Chomsky’s main innovations was to give linguistics the formal tools to study language. The formal tools of generative linguistics enabled linguists to explore the complexity of sentence structure and sentence meaning. The theory accounts for the creativity of human language; the characteristic that makes human language unlike the communication system of any other animal. Topics covered will include phrase structure, complementation, case and theta-theory, and movement.

This crash course is meant as a basic introduction to statistical treatment of experimental data. Attention will be given to description of data and to basic ideas such as sampling, chance levels and hypothesis testing. Furthermore, the question of how to design an experiment that might prove/disprove your theory will be discussed. The programme is rather ambitious, so students should prepare the assigned chapters before coming to class. In class, the material will be discussed and we will go into some of the exercises.

Psycholinguistics Faculty of Humanities (UU) The course will explore the notion of ‘first-person’ in language, psychology, and neuroscience. We will try to understand what we mean when we say ‘I, me, mine, ...’; what is the mental object, if there is one, that corresponds to our intuitive notion of ‘self’, and what are the neurological underpinnings of our capacities of self-awareness and self-reference. The course does not presuppose previous knowledge of the subject or background knowledge of linguistics, psychology, or neurocognitive science.

Bilingualism Faculty of Humanities (UU) Ask someone their opinion on bilingualism and you’re likely to hear statements such as: ‘Learning two languages from birth confuses children and impairs their cognitive development’, ‘Bilingual children can’t speak either of their two languages properly’ or ‘You can only become bilingual if you start acquiring your second language as a young child.’

Though common currency among the general public, each of these statements is in fact a myth. In this course, you will discover why this is the case as we review some of the most important findings from the research on bilingual children.

Global Migration and Development

Faculty of Humanities (UU)

The relationship between migration and development has attracted increasing attention from researchers, NGO’s and policy-makers. Migrants are increasingly seen as key agents in facilitating development transferring economic, social and cultural capital from destination countries to those of origin.

However, it is still necessary to unpack some of the issues and to ask: Who are the migrants? What kind of development? Where does, can and should development take place? This course introduces students to key concepts and empirical research on global migration, mobilities and development.

This course aims to enhance your understanding of violent conflict and conflict management. The course deals with the recent cases of Gaza, the DRC and Sri Lanka as illustrative examples, but also refers to other conflicts around the world. You will learn to map and analyse contemporary conflict, and be introduced to theories that attempt to explain armed conflict. All this serves to sharpen your conceptual and analytical capacities and to familiarise yourself with a number of pertinent issues and tools in conflict analysis and policy planning.

The course also deals with the cultural dimensions of disasters, such as the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster, the 2005 Hurricane Katrina, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, and the 2011 drought in the Horn of Africa. The course will explore the nexus between culture, vulnerability and resilience as part of disaster coping strategies. A second element involves the politics of culture in humanitarian disaster relief.

Innovations for a Sustainable Future

Contemporary Cities: Challenges & Opportunities

Faculty of Geosciences (UU)

Faculty of Geosciences (UU)

What are the challenges for a sustainable future?

How can innovation address these challenges? How to understand innovation processes in energy and water management? How to manage such innovation processes? What can we learn from experiences in the Netherlands?

These are the main questions that will be addressed in this course at the Department of Innovation and Environmental Science. We focus on Dutch practices of innovation and governance to work on a sustainable future. Examples are (alternative) energy and water management technologies in order to protect the Lowlands against a rising sea level and other consequences of climate change.

On the one hand, cities are economic engines and centres of innovation and culture. They attract people to live, work and study. They are where new ideas emerge, where capital accumulates and where trends in culture, lifestyle and entertainment begin. On the other hand, major cities also have concentrations of poverty, social problems, unemployment as well as pollution, congestion and issues of affordability.

While the benefits of urban life are plentiful, these challenges continue to grow. The aim of this two week course is to familiarise students with the major issues confronting European and North American cities of the 21st century and the various ways in which these challenges are being addressed.

Land Governance for Development Faculty of Geosciences (UU) Globalisation, neoliberal governance and new technologies have opened the way for new, often external actors to acquire land in developing countries. Large tracts of land are being bought up for growing biofuels and food for export, which may clash with existing land use and local interests. As a result, access to and use of land is being reshaped profoundly. This means that land governance in developing countries has to find ways to deal with multiple pressures and competing claims. The course will introduce students to the multiple dimensions of land governance from a development perspective. Students will acquire knowledge on new land pressures and learn how to place these in broader theoretical debates.

The course will introduce the decolonial option as a way to imagine alternatives stepping on a solid critique of the modern/colonial social order. Students will have the opportunity to think decolonially by learning to understand how the colonial matrix of power works and by applying their reflections to illuminate the articulations of inequality, destitution and domination around gender, economy, aesthetics, racialization, nature and culture.

Migration, Integration and Ethnic Relations Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU) Migration has made European countries ethnically and culturally more diverse. Host populations have to adapt to migrants and their religion and culture, while migrants have to find their way in a new and sometimes aversive environment. This course introduces students to basic sociological and other social scientific theories and empirical research on international migration, reactions of the host society, and the integration of immigrants and their children. The approach is analytical and empirical and focuses on international migration, stereotyping, discrimination, political mobilization, extreme-right wing voting, ethnic segregation in social networks, and ethnic inequality in the labour market.

The main objective of the course is to learn how to analyze several models with Mplus (e.g., path models, multiple group models, cross-lagged models, CFA, EFA, growth models, introduction to Bayesian models). No previous knowledge of Mplus is assumed, but prior knowledge of SEM, however not mandatory, will make this course more useful. On each day, the morning session consists of lectures, and the afternoon session of a computer lab where everyone can practice working with Mplus.

Advanced course on using Mplus

Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

If you already know how to analyze your data in Mplus and want to learn more about the black-box of the program or if you want to know more about complex models, this course is for you.

The course includes lectures on ‘the real SEM formulas’ (you do not need to know matrix algebra, calculus, or likelihood theory), parameterization in multiple group modeling, power in SEM, advanced introduction in Bayesian estimation, dealing with missing data, longitudinal designs and mixture modeling (latent class analysis, latent transition analysis, latent growth mixture modeling). Lectures are combined with computer labs where the topics of the lectures are applied on example data.

Currently, there are several methods to look at the mind/brain in action. Techniques like EEG/ERP, fMRI and recording eye-movements are widely used to address different kinds of scientific questions. For the social sciences, these techniques were initially almost exclusively used by experimental psychologists.

Currently, however, social scientists with diverse backgrounds are becoming interested in the potential of these techniques for their research interests as well. Students will be introduced to some of these techniques and learn how to use them in a selfdesigned experiment.

Introduction to Multilevel Analysis

Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

More and more researchers use, or want to use, Mplus to analyze their structural equation models or multilevel models. We are honored that Prof. Muthén and Dr. Asparouhov will visit our university. In a threeday workshop new features are highlighted (e.g., multilevel/SEM with 3 levels, new Bayes features, causal effect estimation). Lectures are combined with computer labs where everyone can practice working with Mplus v7 (at least basic working knowledge of Mplus is assumed). On the third day there is also some room for individual consultations with Mplus experts. After these three days, the fourth ‘Dutch Mplus user group’ will take place where we learn about new developments and discuss solutions for typical Mplus problems.

Social research often involves problems that investigate the relationship between individual and society.

The general concept is that individual persons are influenced by the social groups or contexts to which they belong, and that the properties of those groups are in turn influenced by the individuals who make up that group. Generally, the individuals and the social groups are conceptualized as a hierarchical system of individuals and groups, with individuals and groups defined at separate levels of this system. The appropriate analysis technique for such a hierarchical system is multilevel analysis. In this course the benefits of multilevel analysis are discussed.

Bilingual Education (CLIL): Professional Development for Teachers

Alternative Education in the Netherlands

Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

An important feature of the Dutch education system is the so-called ‘freedom of education’. This freedom results in a diversity of confessional and public schools and in a great variety of pedagogic-educational concepts. Within the Dutch education system, alternative pedagogy takes an important place. In alternative schools children’s needs and the relationship with the teacher are handled in an innovative way. In this course you will be introduced to alternative schools as an important component of the Dutch education system, and to the contexts, theory, and practice of alternative education.

A professional development course aimed at teachers, trainee teachers, and programme coordinators working in secondary school bilingual education. Do you want to improve your understanding of content and language integrated learning (CLIL)? Do you want to refresh and develop your CLIL teaching methodology? This hands-on course draws on over fifteen years of experience in bilingual education in the Netherlands. It will develop your CLIL skills, understanding and expertise, and inspire you with a range of practical activities for your CLIL lessons.

Inclusion: Dealing with Special Needs in the Classroom

Conflict Resolution and Mediation Skills

Education and Pedagogics (HU)

Society and Law (HU)

In the Netherlands, children with special educational needs (SEN) are increasingly being educated in mainstream school environments. Some teachers find it difficult to deal with the changing classroom population. Although there is a growing recognition that teachers need to be trained to become equipped to teach effectively in inclusive schools, less attention is paid to the influence of attitudes toward inclusive education. This course focuses on future teachers’ attitudes towards the inclusion of children with SEN.

This course offers you a challenging introduction to conflict resolution and mediation skills. Most studies and professions require a vast amount of cooperation. In their cooperation, people frequently differ from opinion and hold different priorities. Although conflicts occur frequently, it is common for people to ignore them. At the same time, conflicts also offer a chance for unexpected possibilities. In this way, conflicts can also be great learning experiences. The aim of this course is to familiarize you with the backgrounds of human conflict behaviour and to develop and practice conflict resolution and mediation skills.

European Politics and Economy Faculty of Humanities (UU)

Law & Economics

Central to this course is the European Union (EU), an economic and political partnership between 27 democratic European countries with almost 500 million citizens, which has become a major player in global politics and economy.

Geographical information experts deal with a wide variety of spatial information issues. In this course, students will have to combine soil, land use, topography and geomorphology data into one single map in order to indicate potential erosion areas. The course is a hands on course on GIS using ESRI ArcGIS (ArcInfo) and ERDAS IMAGINE. A wide variety of spatial data is used: digital vector and raster maps, aerial photography and satellite imagery.

Typed functional programming languages allow for the development of robust, concise programmes in a short amount of time. The key advantages are higherorder functions as an abstraction mechanism, and an advanced type system for safety and reusability. This course introduces Haskell, a state-of-the-art functional programming language, together with some of its theoretical background, such as typed lambda calculi, referential transparency, Damas-Milner type inference, and functional design patterns. We will quickly move on to applications of functional programming, concentrating on topics such as language processing, building graphical user interfaces, networking, databases, and programming for the web.

The philosophy of science studies general questions concerning the nature of scientific knowledge and scientific methods, but also includes conceptual analysis of fundamental theories such as relativity, quantum mechanics, evolution and modern genetics. The historical approach focuses on the development of scientific thought and practice in times past. It does not limit itself to the problems, methods and solutions assigned by scientists, but extends its scope to the interplay with cultural, social or institutional features at particular times and places.

The objective of the course is to provide the student with insight in the principles and important issues of environmental and occupational epidemiology.

Topics that are covered include time series analyses, assessment of dose-response relationships, use of geographic information systems in exposure assessment, retrospective cohort studies, ecological studies, (correction for) measurement error in exposure and interpretation of studies on mortality (life expectancy versus body counts). Theory will be illustrated by current and emerging topics like climate change and electromagnetic fields.

This course focuses on the chemical principles underlying protein structure and function and how proteins form an assembly of ‘molecular machines’ that work together to sustain the living state. We will explore how proteins ‘know’ what shape they should fold up into following their synthesis, how they cluster into dynamic macromolecular complexes, and how these complexes communicate to form ‘social’ networks that enable cells to move, replicate, signal, and execute other vital processes. The students will be introduced to advanced methods in structural and molecular biology for decoding the cellular protein machinery at atomic resolution, and examine how malfunction of specific components can lead to systemic failure and disease.

Pharmaceutical Policy Analysis

Pharmacoeconomics

Faculty of Science (UU) in cooperation with the World Health Organization

Faculty of Science (UU)

Medicines are among the most regulated products in society. From the earliest pre-clinical stages onward, policy makers want to foster the development of safe, effective and affordable medicines for patients in need of pharmacotherapy. When a drug reaches the market, it is the beginning of a process of complex interactions between patients, prescribers, insurers, pharmaceutical companies and governments.

Furthermore, the inequity in access to medicines is still a defining characteristic of the global pharmaceutical market place.

This course will give insight into current developments in policy making as well as provide a better understanding of the methods available for analysing the effects of policy interventions.

Today’s society is confronted with ever increasing health care costs. One of the factors is the cost of drug innovations. Diseases waiting for therapeutic solutions are complicated and multifactorial in nature. As a result, drug innovation has become even more complex, leading to high tech and therefore high cost solutions. The question arises: what is the added value of such high cost innovations and how can it be determined when both benefit and harm are considered? Health economics, and more specifically pharmacoeconomics, aims to provide a neutral scientific approach to this challenge.
