The Lorentz Center workshops are are primarily international, research driven and partly funded by the Lorentz Center. They follow a competitive selection procedure and specific timeline. The specific criteria for application can be found here.
Lorentz Open is designed for scientific and academic events that require more flexibility or shorter timelines. The Lorentz Open events are organized 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.
The workshops and events are hosted in our venues that are tailored to collaborative work. We welcome all academic fields.”
See below for an overview of the main differences.
