The aim of the Leiden University Fund (LUF) is to help Leiden University thrive. One of the ways LUF achieves this aim is by awarding grants to Leiden University scholars and students.

This year, for the very first time, the Leiden University Fund (LUF) is offering young talented researchers the opportunity to receive a grant from the Praesidium Libertatis I Foundation. By doing so, the LUF aims to help them (further) develop innovative and original research ideas and thus also to open the door to larger grants.

The first annual Snouck Hurgronje Grant for interfaculty research or teaching projects was awarded in 2019. This year, the LUF has decided to combine the application procedure for this grant with the procedure for the LUF Lustrum Grant, which is also intended for interfaculty and socially relevant projects.

Alumni, academics and students of Leiden University play an important role in the governance and organisation of the Leids Universiteits Fonds (LUF).

Leiden University Fund (LUF) was established in 1890 as an independent foundation to further the success of Leiden University.

With the contribution from our donors, the LUF supports innovative and impactful projects by talented, often young, researchers. For example, we award dozens of subsidies every year to research and education projects in various scientific areas.

One of the conditions for receiving a LUF grant is that you submit a final report.
