Dear PhD candidate,
As we navigate through crucial times at the Leiden University Medical Center, your engagement and voice are more important than ever. In light of recent events, we as the LAP board, are convening a vital session to address your concerns and to provide clarity.
This session offers a direct dialogue between Eline Slagboom (the LUMC Confident), Henk-Jan Guchelaar (the interim dean of the faculty of medicine), Alexandra Langers (portfolio holder for education), Bob Siegerink (coordinator of the LUMC Graduate School) and with the LAP board. Your active participation is essential to shape the conversation and to further understand the impact of these developments on your PhD trajectory.

Did you know there is a LAP WhatsApp Community Chat?
LAP has created a WhatsApp community chat exclusively for LUMC PhD candidates, a chat designated to keep you up to date with relevant developments, events that are being organized, for you to give us feedback, to pitch ideas for new events and to help foster a better sense of social cohesion between PhD candidates and different hospital departments.
You can join this community chat via this link.
We eagerly anticipate your participation and valuable contributions to the closed-door session.
