Opening week

On Monday 2 September 2024, the Faculty of Science will officially open the doors of the new Gorlaeus Building! With an extra lab wing, new lecture halls and offices, a library, a brasserie and offices for study associations, this building offers an inspiring environment for research, study and meeting.

With the expansion of the Gorlaeus Building, Leiden University has made a strong commitment to innovation and connection and to science education and research in the heart of the Leiden Bio Science Park. We are very proud of our beautiful new environment: it is the place where you would like to work and study as a (future) beta scientist.

A festive week is planned from 2 to 5 September 2024 and we want to celebrate this week with you! It will be a week full of festivities, marking a fantastic start to the new academic year!
