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

In dozens of offices, libraries, and laboratories, dedicated researchers – supported by LUF donors – are working to deepen our fundamental understanding of the world and the people around us. They make the unknown known and push the boundaries of existing scientific fields.

Issues in today’s society rarely fall within the scope of a single discipline. This makes it important for researchers to look beyond the boundaries of their own field when they are seeking solutions. The Snouck Hurgronje Grant for interfaculty and socially relevant projects was established to encourage this.

The Austrian Studies Fund was established with a festive gathering in the Faculty Club on Friday afternoon, 23 June. This fund is the successor of the Austrian Studies Foundation and will continue and expand the program of activities of the Central European Studies chair at Leiden University, which was established in 1992.

Have you considered including the Leiden University Fund in your will? This is a way to give future generations of scholars and students the opportunity to develop their talents and to make a valuable contribution to society, and ensures that your ideals live on in academic endeavour.
