On the 13th of June, the LBSP x LAP career event will make its debut. What is going on at the LBSP? Which innovations and clever ideas are just a stone’s throw away from the LUMC?

07.06.2023 - 09.06.2023 - PhD & postdoc course 'Safe by Design' @ The Hague
Many materials, products and processes still end up causing unintentional harm, even though safety is a prominent topic in the professional environments of researchers and innovators. Safe (& Sustainable) by Design (S(S)bD) is an approach that renews our focus on safety from the earliest stages of design onwards and expands it by considering it in relation to other important values such as sustainability, security, and circularity. Throughout the three-day program you will work on group assignments, ideally based on actual cases. We highly encourage you to bring your own case, preferably related to your own research. Click here for more information and registration. The course is free of charge.

Introductory meetings
These meetings are organized five times a year, and are compulsory for all new PhD candidates. You preferably attend the meeting within the first 2-3 months after registration. For 2023 we’ve started planning new dates for the introductory meetings:
  • Wednesday 5 July (Academiegebouw)
  • Wednesday 29 November (online)
