Sweat Room

Have you not yet had the chance to sign your signature on the walls of the Sweat Room? Or would you like to pay a digital visit to the famous room?

Add your signature

You have obtained your master's, doctoral or doctoral degree from Leiden University, but due to circumstances your name is still missing from the walls of the Sweat Room. Leiden has not forgotten you! We regularly organise events where you are welcomed to the Academy Building for your signing moment with a professional photographer and some drinks and bites.

Would you rather return to Leiden at a time of your choosing? Please call the reception of the Academy Building (+31 71 527 1210) to make an appointment. The Academy Building is open for this purpose on all week days – except Mondays and during holiday periods – between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

Visit the digital Sweat Room

Can your name already be found on the walls of the Sweat Room? Then discover the digital Sweat Room, search among all the signatures for yours, take a look at all the famous names, such as those of King Willem-Alexander, Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela, and admire the cartoons and charcoal drawings that have been made over the many years.
