Sign your name in the Sweat Room

Most young alumni who graduated during the COVID-19 pandemic did not get a graduation ceremony, nor did they have the chance to sign their name in the Sweat Room. Thanks to the Alumni Office, they now have the chance to do so after all.

Alumni Events Indonesia & San Francisco

We are delighted to invite you to the alumni network meetings in May in Jakarta (9th), Yogyakarta (11th) and San Francisco (19th)! This will provide an excellent opportunity to further connect with other alumni, delegate members, and partners of Leiden University.

Farming of the future

Assistant Professor Maarten Schrama works at Leiden University’s living labs, where biology, environmental sciences and knowledge about agriculture and policy come together. We met him at the new Polderlab to ask him about his research.
