Lorentz Open events

Are you interested in organizing an academic event on short notice or falling outside the requirements of our regular submission rounds for Lorentz Center workshops? 

And do you have the financial resources for organizing it? Then our third venue rho may be suitable for you. This space is more flexible in use, duration, and type of event. Availability is upon request and subject to capacity.

  • Lecture room for up to 30 participants, equipped with audiovisual equipment, a beamer, blackboard, flip chart, and movable furniture.  
  • Four breakout rooms, two of which have screens and audiovisual equipment. 
  • Common room: relaxing sofas, tables and kitchen facilities (coffee machine, dishwasher, fridge, micro-wave oven, plates, cutlery, and glassware are available for your use) 
  • Coffee, tea, cookies and free WiFi

Service level
The Lorentz Center provides five service packages for your Lorentz Open event, tailored to your budget and wishes. These range from simple venue rental to organizational support, or even in-house facilitation by LC staff.
