All of the above in close collaboration with you!

Working with the FMD is working together.

Meet us in an early stage of your research, so we can think with you!

When your research group has a regular contact person:
     -See the peoples page and make an appointment with that person.

When your research group has no regular contact person:
     -Contact our Project Coordinator; Gijsbert Verdoes

For a simple question or a small job:

To provide you with the best Quick Service possible, you should know the following:

1. A Quick Service job is best being described as a simple, non-complicated, self-contained, few hours job.

2. The Quick Service may have no background knowledge of your setup/project/experiment, or time to learn this. This can have effects on the safety issues, your information is the key to safety!

3. If design work and/or ordering materials/goods are involved, we tend to call it a project.

4. If you, or the Quick Service thinks that your question is beyond the Quick Service level you will be redirected to you regular contact person or the project coordinator of the FMD.

5. For a quick administration of materials and hours work, please bring your group name and a SAP number with you.

We are available for Quick Service between 08.00 and 17.00 hrs.

The technical warehouse is a FMD facility. The products that are kept on stock are to facilitate our work on the projects. The costs of the goods for these projects are debited to the SAP numbers of the research groups.

We welcome our customers to make use of this facility under the following conditions:

• Self Service is only after having received instructions.
• Instructions via the warehouse manager or your regular FMD contact.
• You need to know the appropriate SAP number for your purchase.
• Your purchases need to be registered with a coupon.

A half hour introduction tour will teach you the necessary details of what there is to know about the FMD and ELD. You will meet the relevant personnel and learn about the possibilities in engineering and production techniques. This way, you will know what to do if you need our help.

Date: Every first Monday of the month.

Send us an email at infoFMD@physics.leidenuniv.nl

Please mention the research group you are in so we can setup a meeting with the corresponding support for that group.

Our working hours are designated to the institutes: IBL, LACDR, LIC, LION and STRW. To check if we work according to the agreed proportion, we report back to the institutes. We do this by reporting the number of worked hours per SAP project. This is why we ask you to provide a SAP number.

Reports of worked hours are sent to the Directors of Operations every month. Every quarter there is an intermediate payment and the Project Bureau will receive a report of our department’s completed hours. At the end of the year there is a final calculation of worked hours and actual costs.
