Meetings and events

Are you organising a symposium or event and are you looking for a professional and experienced team to take care of the arrangements? Looking for a great venue in Leiden or The Hague, or will the event be taking place online? The Events Office is here to help.

How to make your conference or (online) event a success

Whether you are organising a large symposium or a webinar for 30 participants, there are always a few key questions to consider first. What do you want to achieve? And who is your target group? A public conference to communicate science to a wider public is very different from a meeting to inspire further collaboration between international experts.

Are you going to organise an online event yourself? Find out how we can help.

Events Office

Leiden University’s Events Office has a wealth of experience in organising academic meetings and events, both on location and online.

We can help you in a range of different ways: from advising on your event programme and thinking about the bigger picture to providing the entire organisation and delivery of your event, and all possible permutations in between. The Events Office is familiar with all the University venues and facilities as well as with other options in the cities of Leiden and the Hague. We also know exactly which hotels the two cities have to offer.

The service focusses on Central Services and Service Units. The Leiden University Events Office does not provide services to external organizations.
