Campus The Hague is spread out over five buildings in the administrative heart of the city. Leiden University's students, researchers and staff are able to work and study at locations with direct links to topics that are relevant to The Hague such as governance and security.

Leiden University regularly opens its doors for informative, inspiring, and socially engaged events that are closely related to the educational and research programmes of Campus The Hague. If you would like to organise something that might be of interest to our students and/or staff, please feel free to enquire about the possibilities.

Due to limited building capacity, the planning of educational and research activities always takes priority over other events. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate meetings, conferences, and events that do not include our students and/or staff as their target audience.

Rooms

Please find information about the rooms and their facilities in this presentation. 

Contact

If you would like to know more about the possibilities, please feel free to contact Jamy van Baarsel and/or Joany Doornik, Event Coordinators Campus The Hague at: events@cdh.leidenuniv.nl.

University parking facilities

Parking spaces on Leiden University campuses are limited. Do you have an appointment with one of our staff members? Please mention that you are coming by car; if possible, a parking spot will be arranged for you in one of our parking facilities.

Municipal parking facilities

Are you visiting the Hortus botanicus, student centre Plexus or one of our faculties in the centre of Leiden? There are (limited) opportunities for paid parking on the streets and along the canals. An alternative is Parking Leiden Haagweg car park, which is easily accessible from the access roads to Leiden. A free shuttle bus will take you to any location in the centre of Leiden and pick you up again at any time. You can also walk: the car park is about 15 minutes' walk from the city centre.
