Leiden - Indonesia

Leiden University has a long standing tradition in the collaboration with Indonesia in research and education.

For Leiden’s scholars in a wide range of disciplines, Indonesia’s biological, ecological, linguistic and religious diversity, its legal system, its emerging political role, its history and its people are an important object of study.

Through decades of close collaboration, the links with Indonesian scholars, Indonesian universities and Indonesian governmental institutions have flourished and Leiden University has become an important destination for Indonesian scholars and students. In addition, Leiden University’s Asian Library holds one of the major Asian collections including the largest Indonesian collection outside of Indonesia.
