Website additions and amendments
Do you want to post an announcement or report any content that needs changing? If so, please contact the web editorial team for your faculty or department.
News
Placing news items about your research on the University website can help bring your research findings to a wider audience. Your senior editor can help you contact the right people. This would be your own faculty web editorial team, the press communication adviser or the University's central editors. Even if your news does not relate to research, you can talk to your faculty's editorial team or the University's editors.
Profile page
All members of staff at the University have their own profile page on the website. The information shown on your profile page is in part generated by various underlying systems. Read here how you can change these details yourself or have them changed.
Internal newsletter
The internal newsletter is compiled and sent by the central staff editors every Tuesday afternoon. If you would like to provide input for the newsletter, such as an announcement or a calendar item, submit your input a week in advance, before 15.00 on Tuesday, to: medewerkersportal@leidenuniv.nl. This gives enough time for topics and texts to be reviewed, edited and translated. Always deliver the required information as completely and clearly as possible in one message. Do not forward long e-mail exchanges.
Please note that submitting a text on time does not guarantee publication. The staff editorial team has the right to alter or refuse content.
Agenda, courses and announcements
Would you like to publish an agenda item, a course or an announcement on the website? Then submit the completed template for agenda items or the completed template for courses or an announcement in Word (maximum of 500 words, please consult 'Writing for web') to the staff editor .

Showcase your research online
How visible is your work? By keeping your project page up to date, you enhance the visibility of your research and highlight its place within the Institute of Psychology’s wider body of work. Whether you need a brand-new page or updates to an existing one, our services can help you present your research clearly and effectively.
Make your choice
To create a new project page, simply email your research proposal to webteam.psy@FSW.leidenuniv.nl. Using a dedicated AI tool – developed in collaboration with Leiden University and hosted in a secure environment – we transform your submission into a well-structured text. The content follows a clear framework, covering the introduction, research question or objective, methodology, and additional information.
For the final fine-tuning, we will ask you to provide a last round of input and approval.
Examples of project pages made in collaboration with AI:
- Bright Horizons: Adjunctive Light Therapy for PTSD
- Incentive-Based Physical Activity Programs for Cardiovascular Disease Patients
Benefits of the AI service:
- Saves you time
- SEO text for online visibility
- Clear, recognisable structure
- Including title suggestion
- Flexible: revisions are possible
Do you prefer to write the text yourself? That is also an option. Simply complete the Research Project Page Form, and we will publish the information on the website for you.
You can also save your progress and finish later. At the bottom of the form, select ‘store entries, finish later’. On the next page, you’ll receive a code – hold on to this code to continue filling out the form at a later time.
Tips for completing the form:
- You may copy text you have already written, such as from a news item or research proposal.
- The form can be completed in Dutch and/or English. We will take care of the translation.
- Use the same keywords as on your profile page.
- Enter the project’s end date or the duration of your grant(s). This can be updated later if needed.
The Research Project Page Form can also be used to update an existing page. You don’t need to complete the entire form again – just include:
- The name of the research project and the contact person
- The fields that have changed
- For fields that should remain unchanged: write ‘no changes’
Minor updates
If you only need to adjust small details – for example, adding a new end date or funding body – you may also email us directly at webteam.psy@FSW.leidenuniv.nl
