These are two separate Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility projects with Monash University in Australia, one of the Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research (LACDR), the other of Leiden University’s Faculty of Law (LLS).

  • Staff & student exchange

Project duration:

  • 2024-2027

Project 1: Computational drug discovery

Through this Erasmus+ ICM project, Leiden University/LACDR and Monash University strengthened their collaboration in the field of computational drug discovery. The project supported two staff mobilities. Project coordinator Willem Jespers visited Monash University in February 2025, where he gave an invited lecture and seminar and met with the local research team. Viktor Prypoten visited Leiden University in September and October 2025. He gave two seminars, and was embedded in the research group.

Although the project was implemented on a smaller scale than originally planned, the staff exchanges had concrete and lasting outcomes. They contributed to an ongoing long-distance collaboration, the preparation of a joint scientific paper, and the submission of a joint grant application. The collaboration is expected to continue, including through a future visit of David Chalmers from Monash University to the Netherlands.
