LAP PhD Day 2025: Science and beyond!
25.04.2025
The PhD Day will be full of interesting workshops, plenary sessions, as well as networking opportunities and fun drinks! You can register for the PhD Day here.
LAP is looking for a new Board Member to take over the newsletter!
As a general board member, your main responsibility will be drafting and sending the newsletter, but will also include attending board meetings and supporting the overall functioning of the board and its objectives. The LAP board currently consists of 9 enthusiastic PhD Candidates. While everybody has tasks of preference, we have board meetings every 2-3 weeks, and regular meetings with the Dean, the Graduate School, and other LUMC parties.
In return, you get to learn about the ins and outs of the LUMC, work with a diverse board of motivated fellow PhD candidates who want to make a difference for the PhD community, and you can have the opportunity to implement your ideas and see them flourish in practice! We look forward to meeting you! Send us your CV and motivation letter!
PhD Representation
PhD Safe Space Sweet
This initiative gives PhD candidates the opportunity to thank someone who has made a meaningful impact on their personal journey—whether through support, encouragement, or simply being there when it mattered most. Last month, the award went to Caroline Serlie, manager of the Centre for Innovation of Medical Education and the Research Group Research of Medical Education.
Do you have someone who made a difference in your PhD journey? This could be a fellow PhD candidate, supervisor, librarian or someone else at the LUMC whose contribution should not go unnoticed. Nominate them for the next PhD Safe Space Sweet! Share their story and let us celebrate the unsung heroes of academia.

Fun fact: everyone who registers for the event will receive a substantial discount on the printing of their thesis! Drinks and snacks will be provided during the workshop! Click here to sign up!
Learning materials now open to share, distribute and reuse
From now on, LUMC staff members are allowed to openly share teaching materials under an (open) Creative Commons (CC) License. This is an essential and valuable step enabling the distribution, sharing, and reuse of learning materials.

Click here for a public google spreadsheet in which you can leave your contact details to get in touch with other PhD candidates who are printing their thesis soon to get a group discount. It is your own responsibility to get in touch with each other and organize the group discount with the printing company.
