Leiden University has high-quality research facilities and laboratories for education and research.

The Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) labs are being realised on the second floor of the Sylvius building. Completion is scheduled for summer 2023.

During your research you might have to set up laboratory space, programme tasks, collect, analyse and store data. The FSW offers support in all stages of your research.

Regardless of whether you work at a desk or in a lab, all workplaces have their risks. As your employer, the University aims to create a healthy workplace and to limit possible health risks. Here you will find the main risks and measures that we take to reduce them.

We are a multidisciplinary network that advises and guides FSW researchers at every stage of their research journey.
