LEO-Workshop for PhD-candidates: Career options and how to prepare

Leiden PhD AssociationLEO aims to provide a platform for PhD candidates at Leiden University. We organize social events, represent PhD-specific interests, and maintain contact with other PhD organizations.About ten years ago the PhD candidates of Leiden University first organized themselves in an interest group: the “Leids Promovendi Overleg” (LEO, don’t ask about the acronym…). Today, we, as LEO, still make sure that the opinions of PhD candidates are heard throughout the University; and this accounts for anyone who is writing a PhD thesis at Leiden University, regardless of his or her official position or employment.LEO can influence decision making at the University through its presence in the University Council and through meetings held regularly with the Rector Magnificus. By working together with thePhD candidates Network of the Netherlands(PNN) we even have a nationwide influence, for example through contacts with the Association of Dutch Universities (VSNU) and the Ministry of Education. Help us support you byjoining LEO!

Did you know over 70% of the PhDs and 90% of the Postdocs have to find a job outside academia?
