If your work allows it, you can work partly from home and partly at the University. How this combination of working from home and at the University will turn out for you depends on your own working activities and situation and those of your team. This means that tailor-made solutions are needed.

Would you like to work from home on a regular basis? This is possible if your supervisor permits it and your work allows it. Leiden University does not have a telecommuting policy. There are however, certain facilities and features you can use.
