Community Building

Community building

Postdocs land often at Leiden University alone. But you are not alone.

We are more than 500 postdocs at Leiden University and we want to be here for you.

On December 8, 2020, at 16h30, we will present LUPA, its goals, and what we are working on: a website, a postdoc platform, different events throughout the year, and information about grants targeted for postdocs.

We are also working on a problem-solving exercise to help improve postdocs' conditions. If we do this together, we will remove the barriers that prevent postdocs from developing themselves and improving their work-life balance.

Future events

LUPA represents the perfect environment to host informative events tailored for postdocs. We are in contact and will find connections with coaches, policy advisors, alumni and career counselors in order to organize events useful for our community.

Do you have suggestions for the next events and wish to include a particular topic/guest? Let us know!

Informal Friday borrel!

Join us to our periodic informal LUPA meeting!

Every last Friday of the month, it is postdoc "borrel": grab a beer or a tea and take the opportunity to connect with new people. Until social distancing rules will be necessary we will meet in LUPA MS Team in VrijMiBo channel. We hope to be able to meet you all soon in person!
