Problems with your research due to the shortage of lab material?
On December 18th it was announced that there was a shortage in diagnostic and research materials in the LUMC. Research labs were asked to turn in their supplies to allow the continuation of the diagnostic labs.
Many departments have found alternatives and other experiments to work on. However, if you are experiencing a delay in your PhD or are afraid this diminishes the quality of your work, please let us know by sending an email to LAP@lumc.nl.

Special announcement
We are excited to share with you that.. LAP has launched its own website!
Our aim was to create a place in which all information for PhD candidates in gathered, to ensure at least the administration and official stuff of everyone's PhD period is smooth sailing.
Most importantly, the website contains the PhD folder. This faq-style webpage contains the answers to all questions you might have, such as:
"Where can I find courses I can follow?
"What should I do when I have problems with my supervisor?
"How many hours of academic activities must I register in Converis?"
The website and PhD folder is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions or miss anything, please let us know: lap@lumc.nl
