Project Smarter Digital Collaboration & Communication
Would you like to work more relaxed and with greater focus by collaborating digitally in a smarter way? On 6 March 2026, we launched the Smarter Digital Collaboration & Communication project. This project began as a pilot within the FSW and the Faculty of Law, and is now implemented across Leiden University.
We’ll help you collaborate smarter (more effectively and efficiently) using Microsoft 365 tools. For example:
- Smart use of MS Teams (online collaboration)
- Fewer unnecessary emails, a less cluttered inbox
- Clear communication guidelines (when to use a chat or an email?)
No extra work, just smarter working — for greater job satisfaction and a better work-life balance!
Join us!

About this project
Working Better Together is part of FSW's cultural programme Open Up. Our objectives are:
- Strengthen an organisational culture in which rest, recovery, and realistic work agreements are seen as normal and professional behavior.
- Make work pressure and task distribution structurally negotiable as an integral part of professional functioning.
