Universities, companies, organisations and societies are increasingly facing enormous quantities of data. It is a great challenge to transform these Big Data into knowledge, which is why Leiden University has launched a University-wide Data Science Research Programme.

Leiden University participates in and organises a number of popular science events to help inform the public about what is going on in the world of science.

During an evacuation, all employees and students gather at the front or backside of the Pieter de la Court Building.

Data science is used in almost every academic discipline. This presents plenty of new opportunities, but new dilemmas too. Reason enough for the symposium on 5 March: ‘Fairness and Transparency, towards responsible data science.’ Keynote speaker Ricardo Baeza-Yates gives a sneak preview.

Leiden University is investing 4 million euros in a new Data Science research programme. This is a joint initiative of all the faculties, headed by Dean Geert de Snoo at the Faculty of Science. The programme will focus on Leiden scientific data.

From how litter spreads to which languages are spoken in Leiden and The Hague: over 50 interesting, surprising, complex and entertaining questions were sent in for the Citizen Science Project to mark our 444th anniversary.

How many species of butterfly are living in my garden? Do I recognise the Leiden dialect? What is the air quality like in my area? Do you have a question about something that affects you, your neighbours or the whole city of Leiden or The Hague? Residents and scientists have until 15 March 2019 to send…

A film and quiz at the Old Observatory, a film whose ending you decide or a political satire in The Hague. These are some of the options at Science & Cinema, the 444 edition, a special programme during LIFF, the Leiden International Film Festival.

Are you a student at Leiden University and do you think you have the best lecturer? And is his or her teaching innovative and interactive? Now's your chance to nominate your chosen lecturer for the 2019 Leiden Teaching Prize!

As long as we humans have existed, we have told each other stories. But how does a story change each time it is told? Which elements stick and which ones are forgotten? This is what Max van Duijn and Tessa Verhoef will research in their Lowlands Whispers experiment at Lowlands Festival.
