Dear fellow PhD candidates,

Thank you to all of you that participated in the LAP PhD Day 2024. We hope that you also found it to be a pleasant, interesting, and fun day, as we did! If you did participate, we would like to hear your feedback, so please fill it in. In case you did not participate, you can click here to let us know how we can improve the LAP PhD Day in the future. Of course, the PhD Day would not have been possible without our sponsors. Please read on to find out more about them! 

Furthermore, please know that we are still looking for new Board Members! Continue reading for more information! The new deadline is the 15th of May! 


Best wishes, 
The LAP board

Looking for new board members 
Deadline: 15.05.2024 (extended)
We are looking for a new Secretary of the Board and a General Board Member to join us!

As the secretary, you have a vital role in the board, as you handle the LAP inbox, organize meetings, and take notes during meetings. Are you Dutch-speaking, do you have an eye for detail, and great organization skills? Then we definitely want to hear from you!

As a general board member, your responsibilities will likely include attending board meetings, organizing events or initiatives, communicating with other PhD Candidates and faculty members, and supporting the overall functioning of the board and its objectives. Dutch is not required for this role! 

In return, you get to learn about the ins and outs of the LUMC, work with a diverse board of motivated fellow PhD candidates who want to make a difference for the PhD community, and you can have the opportunity to implement your ideas and see them flourish in practice! We look forward to meeting you! Send us your CV and motivation letter!

Open door sessions
After the Closed Door session on PhD Supervision, the Graduate School organized 4 Open Door sessions for everyone involved in PhD supervision. The notes of these Open Door sessions can be found here. Another Closed Door session will follow in Q3, during which we will discuss the improvements made by the LUMC since the first edition. It is important that the LUMC PhD Candidates Community is well-represented! Stay tuned. 

Psychologist for PhD candidates
The PhD psychologist can offer support to all Leiden University PhD candidates who are experiencing psychological issues that are either caused by, or are directly affecting, their PhD trajectory. The PhD psychologist is very much aware of the unique position occupied by PhD candidates and as a result, can provide assistance that helps to meets their specific needs. To make an appointment, send an email
