In recent years, Dutch universities, colleges, hospitals, and other research institutions have conducted dozens of studies at Lowlands Science. A wide range of socially relevant topics have been explored. For instance, last year's investigations delved into whether music festivals contribute to societal trust, the connection between one's bowel movements and personality, and the hypothetical scenarios of a society where food is no longer a necessity for survival.
