Dear fellow PhD candidates,
Some exciting news: we are finally organizing a live "borrel" again! We are going to celebrate the King's birthday at April 21. Always wanted to play those typical Dutch games (again) and in for some free drinks? Come and join! To keep corona out of the party we ask you to take a self-test the day of the ‘borrel’.
We are also trying a new concept: the so called 'office hours' or in Dutch 'inloopuren', in which you can come by and visit our board every other week on Tuesdays between 12.00-13.30 o'clock in J-01-077. The idea is that it is more 'low key' to talk about some problems you experience or some ideas you want to discuss. The first 'office hours' will start on April 12: we hope to see you there!
Read the rest of this newsletter for interesting events and courses for the coming months.
Best,
The LAP board
