Facilities
Some of Leiden University’s facilities are also available to external parties.
Open Access Research Infrastructure
Top quality research facilities are essential if you want to be successful in research. With this in mind, Leiden University has opened the research facilities at the Faculty of Science to external parties. Researchers from industry, knowledge institutes and other universities can access these facilities via the OARI (Open Access Research Infrastructure) portal. This portal includes an online database detailing all the apparatus and instruments and the related expertise.
University Services Department
The University Services Department (UFB) is one of Leiden University’s expertise centres and is responsible for faculty services. Businesses and individuals who are associated with Leiden University can also use the services of the University Services Department.

University Sports Centre
The University Sports Centre (USC) offers more than 50 types of sport and group lessons, including not only ‘old school’ sports like judo, boxing and tennis, but also more modern ones like ultimate Frisbee, Zumba and Riverdance. All group lessons are held in the main USC building on Einsteinweg. There is a gym in two locations: at PlexFit in the centre of Leiden and on Einsteinweg. To participate in USC sports you will need a sports card. Students and staff of Leiden University and Leiden University of Applied Sciences and businesses can apply for one. We charge an extra fee for some courses.
Events Office
Professional event planning is an art in itself, particularly if you wish to give your event an academic flavour. You will be faced with numerous contacts, contracts, timetables, agreements, lists and correspondance. Not to mention locations, logistics and budgets. Leiden University’s Events Office understands the art of event planning like no other. Use the services of this office and sit back in carefree anticipation of your event.

Like all large organisations, Leiden University needs flexible forms of employment. One way it meets this need is by hiring temporary staff. JobMotion was set up to cater for this need.
