PhD survey reminder
On 17 October, you have all received an email with a link to a survey about life as a PhD candidate at Leiden University. Don't forget to complete this survey as the results will help to pursue policy and changes that can improve the PhD experience at Leiden University. The survey was emailed directly by Effectory and will be accessible until 11 November.
New PhD psychologist
Leiden University has a new PhD psychologist. Her name is Agnes van Rossum and she offers free and short-term psychological support to all PhD candidates who are experiencing psychological issues that are either caused by, or directly affecting your PhD trajectory. You could of course also reach out to our own LAP PhD confidant Annelieke Lemij, as well as the LUMC counsellor Prof. dr. Eline Slagboom.
Short PhD/Junior Postdoc project: Bringing a Health Innovation to the next level - Dutch only
Ongeveer 80% van de medische innovaties en technologie krijgt geen CE-markering en ≈70% van de producten die een CE-markering krijgt, verdwijnt binnen twee jaar na certificering, omdat ze niet worden geïmplementeerd en opgeschaald. Vanuit het LUMC organiseren de afdelingen afdelingen Klinische Epidemiologie en Biomedical Data Sciences samen met Health Innovation Netherlands (HI-NL) een Ronde Tafel over een telemonitoring innovatie. Klik hier voor meer informatie. Deadline: 18 november

Maximum number of Open Access articles in deals with academic publishers has been reached
Some of the agreements between the Dutch Universities and academic publishers have set a yearly maximum number of free open access articles. It is expected that these caps will be reached before the end of 2022 in the cases of Springer and Emerald, possibly also with OUP and Taylor&Francis. If you expect to publish an article with any of these four publishers during the remainder of this calendar year, this cap is of importance for your publication, because after this maximum is reached the costs will no longer be covered. You can stay informed about the status of your publishing deal by signing up for a ‘notify-me service’.
