On 19 November, the second edition of the Research Day: It Takes a Village – Shaping Interdisciplinary Futures will take place.

This time, the event is a joint initiative of the Faculties of Social and Behavioural Sciences (FSW) and Governance and Global Affairs (FGGA).

This interfaculty gathering is open to all researchers at FSW and FGGA, and will focus on interdisciplinary collaboration, research outreach, and the broader ambitions of the Social Sciences Sector Plans. While particular attention will be given to the Assistant Professors appointed under the Sector Plans, the programme — featuring research pitches, interactive workshops, inspiring talks, and an information market — is designed to engage and benefit researchers from across the academic spectrum.

Join us to connect, exchange ideas, and help shape the future of interdisciplinary research! The event takes place at FSW, Wassenaarseweg 52, Leiden. 

Below, you can indicate your workshop preferences. Please note that we cannot guarantee everyone their first choice.

We hope that you will be able to join the full programme (9:00 - 13:00). However, it is also possible to sign up for individual components. Lunch will be provided.
