Associate professor Michaël Peyrot has been awarded an ERC grant of almost two million euros to unravel this 'web…

Young people influence one another to take greater risks, although it's not quite that cut and dried. This is what development psychologist Jorien van Hoorn discovered. Peers also have a positive influence on one another, an aspect that has so far been under-researched. PhD defence 12 January.
