In the Spotlight: Leiden University In 2010, Leiden University is commemorating the 435th anniversary of its foundation. The celebration of this memorable achievement did commence with the festive Foundation Day ceremony on 8 February. From this date on, a range of activities take place, culminating in the Lustrum Week from 12 to 18 June. CONTEST: 'Science and the Outside World' To reveal how reason and emotion come together in Leiden’s leading scientific research, a number of the University’s research groups will participate in the ‘Science and the Outside World’ contest.
In this contest scholars will present the subject of their research in a spectacular and active way, so that it is comprehensible for everybody. They get up from behind their desks or research benches to do something outside the University walls: during the Lustrum Week (12 to 18 June) they will explain to society exactly what it is that they do. Scientific research will be promoted actively to everday people. LEARN MORE
Lustrum Debate and Lectures There could be no Lustrum week without debate. Leiden University will initiate a new tradition in 2010: the Freedom Lecture. There will also be a lecture dedicated to the Lustrum theme, and this year’s Cleveringa meetings will relate to ‘Reason and Emotion’. LEARN MORE
EuroScholar’s Research Published in Astronomical Journal During the Autumn 2010 semester, Jennifer Bean, a student at Missouri State University, participated in a research project entitled "Furthering the Search for the Siblings of the Sun" at Leiden University. Jennifer and her Research Project Supervisor from Leiden, Dr. Anthony Brown, have recently been published in the MNRAS (Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society) for their work in this field.
