- War & Society: Research into societal impacts of wars, including Dutch experiences under German and Japanese occupations during WWII.
- Expert Centre Restitution: Specialized work on Nazi-looted art, property restitution, and transitional justice mechanisms.
- Radical Research and Digital Documents (R2-D2): Digital humanities projects on radicalization, archival digitization, and innovative data analysis.
- Perpetrator Studies: Investigations into the motivations and actions of individuals and groups in mass violence contexts.
- Memory, Trauma, and Commemoration: Studies on how societies remember and process trauma from conflicts and genocides.
