View this email in your browser Your Attendance Required: Essential Dialogue for PhD Candidates at the LUMC  Dear PhD candidate, As we navigate through crucial times at the Leiden University Medical Center, your engagement and voice are more important than ever. In light of recent events, we as the LAP board, are convening a vital session to address your concerns and to provide clarity. This session offers a direct dialogue between Eline Slagboom (the LUMC Confident), Henk-Jan Guchelaar (the interim dean of the faculty of medicine), Alexandra Langers (portfolio holder for education), Bob Siegerink (coordinator of the LUMC Graduate School) and with the LAP board. Your active participation is essential to shape the conversation and to further understand the impact of these developments on your PhD trajectory. Session Details Date and Time: November 23rd 2023, 09:00 – 10:00 Location: LUMC Main Building, Lecture Hall 1 (Route 768) Format: Closed-door session, exclusively for PhD candidates. This session is critical and we strongly urge you to attend. It’s more than a forum to ask questions – it’s a chance to make your voice heard in a time of substantial change. We will not discuss individual cases, but we will address broader concerns and provide insights into what to expect from the new faculty leadership. Registration: Please confirm your attendance by filling out this form. This will help us organize the session more effectively.

For those unable to attend: Your involvement is important to us, please send your questions or comments to lap@lumc.nl and we will compile them into a Q&A to be answered (if possible) during the session.
