27.10.2022 - Workshop: how to survive academic life – PhD support for dummies (12:00-13.30)
Do you find it challenging to balance life and academics? Do you sometimes struggle to retain your focus and direction? Sharing your experiences and struggles can give you a feeling of ‘I’m not alone in this!’. Also, understanding what others are doing to cope with their issues can inspire you. It can give you ideas, encouragement, motivation and a sense of connectedness. This short workshop will give you a menu of what’s already available. And you’ll get a taste of ‘peer support’ through some easy and fun exercises. Click here to register.
02.11.2022 - Multi-PhD association tri-city Round Table Discussions: Neurodiversity in the Workplace (17.45-19.45)
Together with Young Medical Delta, Promeras, and Young Delft, we want to bring to you a discussion series on how to better create an environment of inclusivity in the workplace for the spectrum of neurodivergence when creating medical technology innovations. In each city of the PhD associations, Delft, Rotterdam and Leiden, we will have speakers explain about a certain topic relating to neurodivergence.
Campus: Delft University of Technology
Building: Pulse Building
Room: Technology

Open Access publishing
The LUMC is committed to Open Access publishing, which means that whenever possible publications are available free of charge and are freely accessible online. This can be achieved, for instance, by making a PDF of the publication available via the Leiden Repository. Click here to read more.
Watch out for predatory or deceptive Open Access journals
Publishing your article almost accidentally in a predatory or deceptive Open Access journal is a financial and reputational risk in the current science publication climate. It is well worth your while perusing our information to prevent this from happening. And it is also worth your while spending 5 minutes watching this video on this topic, produced by IFIS publishing. Need more information? Contact openaccess@library.leidenuniv.nl.

20.10.2022 - Life Sciences Café: Cyber security and resilience (16.00-19.00h)
Annually, at least one out of 5 companies in The Netherlands is exposed to a cyberattack. In the best case a virus scanner or firewall will provide sufficient protection, but often business processes are (partly or fully) disturbed. Barry Roelofs from Buck Consultants International and Marcel Spruit from The Hague University of Applied Sciences will talk you through this interesting topic. Location: BioPartner 5: De Limes 7, 2342 DH Oegstgeest.

Health Innovaitors
HealthInnovaitors is a student consultancy organization working on making healthcare future-proof by accelerating the adoption of AI. The idea is to bring bright minds with backgrounds in medicine, engineering, and management together to find comprehensive solutions. The first project will start in November at the department of Radiology at the LUMC. Are you a highly motivated PhD student looking to make your mark in healthcare, check out their website to learn more or send them an email.
19.10.2022 - Workshop LEO: know your rights as a PhD (16.00-18.00)

19.11.2022 - De Jonge Dokter (Junior Doctor) symposium 'Artsen met Grenzen' (Dutch event)
Tijdens dit evenement willen we grenzen in de breedste zin van het woord bespreekbaar maken. Onderwerpen waar je als dokter, zowel jong als met meer ervaring, regelmatig mee in aanraking komt, bijvoorbeeld wanneer je tijdens een nachtdienst een drempel voelt om je supervisor wakker te bellen of je van een patiënt of collega een opmerking krijgt waardoor jij je ongemakkelijk voelt. Klik voor het programma en kopen van kaartjes hier.
