Creating impact together
We encourage researchers to look beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines and connect scientists, students, policymakers, residents, entrepreneurs and other societal partners. By bringing knowledge together, we develop pioneering research, inspiring education and innovative projects. Together, we aim to position Leiden as the biodiversity capital of the Netherlands.
Connecting people
Strengthening the network
We organise gatherings where scientists from different disciplines, students, and professionals can connect with each other, share knowledge and experience, and together seek answers to complex questions.
Making impact
Local and regional solutions
We organise activities and collaborate on projects for a climate-resilient and biodiverse Leiden and surrounding region. We encourage fundamental questions and knowledge to find real-world application here, and for practical experience to feed new research questions.
Scaling up
(Inter)national research
We strengthen the national and international research network. Together we explore how local solutions can scale nationally or internationally to create impact, and how global insights can be applied here.
