Study trip

PhD students at Leiden University can apply for a grant for a study trip outside the Netherlands. The study trip must be part of a recognised research project within the faculty and be part of a PhD programme.

Application

If you would like to apply for a study trip grant outside the Netherlands, please download the grant conditions and CWB application procedure at the top green ‘tile’ on the right of this page (The document is in Dutch. The English version will be available soon.) If you meet all criteria, you can submit your application using the LUF Subsidy portal.

Note: Grants for study trips are only available to PhD students who can show that they hold a salaried position, meaning that they have a paid employment contract with Leiden University, LUMC or a related institution. PhD students who have a zero-hours contract or a personal grant and external PhD candidates are not eligible.

Applications will only be considered for activities that are due to take place after the date of the next CWB meeting. Please see the CWB meeting overview for the meeting dates and submission deadlines. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Klaartje Sluijs (Secretary for Allocation of Funds) by e-mail to CWB@LUF.leidenuniv.nl (Mon-Thu).
