Leiden University has an Open Science program. Open Science aims to transform knowledge creation and communication practices in all fields of science. FAIR (research) data, open-access publishing, citizen science and recognition and rewards are the major components of the Leiden Open Science program. 

Media Guide for scientists

In the Media Guide for scientists you will find practical help and advice for contact with journalists or as preparation for a media appearance. The guide will also help you decide whether or not to respond to a press request. It also states who you can contact for consultation and additional training.

The Media Guide for Scientists is especially helpful for young researchers and/or scientists with little experience in the media.
