The Lorentz Center covers a substantial part of your workshop costs. This is made possible by the financial support that we receive from both Leiden University and the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
Regular funding
The support we provide for regular Lorentz Center workshops consists mainly of in-kind support, including: the venue and facilities, social events (welcome reception, workshop dinner), beverages and cookies in the breaks, a workshop poster, organizational support, and support developing the proposal and program. The total costs of these services amount to roughly 25-30 k€.
We encourage all our applicants to check whether it is useful and possible to complement the support provided by the Lorentz Center with external funding. In this way, you may be able to support more of your participants’ expenses.*
Note that we stimulate our participants to travel sustainably, and do not refund flight tickets for travel distances less than 500 km (See our webpage Travel sustainably).
Diversity fund
The Lorentz Center can allocate a small budget to support the expenses of participants eligible for the Diversity Fund. Please check this page for more information.
