Visa & Insurance
There are no regional restrictions for participation. However please note that some nationalities require a short stay visa for the Netherlands. When applying for a visa, the Leiden Institute of Physics will provide a letter of invitation. We strongly urge our participants to take a travel insurance with a third-party liability insurance to cover any accidental damage or harm caused to other persons or property during the stay in The Netherlands. This is to be arranged by student with the company of their choice.
We recommend AON student insurance.
About the Leiden Institute of Physics
Experimental physics at the Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) is carried out in the Huygens-Kamerlingh Onnes laboratory and theoretical physics at the Institute Lorentz. Together, these different branches provide a dynamic academic environment with a focus on fundamental questions, but with an open eye to benefits for society.
The theory and experimental research groups interact actively with each other. They also seek out collaboration across the sub-disciplines and with other institutes at the Leiden Science Faculty. LION maintains a balance between curiosity-based and practically-oriented research, because we believe that true innovation arises from asking questions that have not been phrased before.
