The Lorentz Center workshops are partly funded by the Lorentz Center and follow a competitive selection procedure and specific timeline. The specific criteria for application can be found here.
Self-funded events can be organized more flexibly in consultation with the Lorentz Center team. Different service packages are available. No strict criteria exist, but events must support science and research and should align with the philosophy and mission statement of the Lorentz Center.
See below for an overview of the main differences.
