Accessible to all
At Leiden University, we aim to create an inclusive and engaged learning and working environment and prepare students to tackle societal challenges when entering diverse workspaces. But are we open and accessible enough? Can persons with a disability fully participate? True belonging means you feel part of the community and are non-negotiable just as you are. How do we handle the discomfort that this will no doubt cause within the community?

Meeting and sharing knowledge
This edition of the annual D&I Event offers an interactive and plenary programme. Our aim is to create an open space where students, staff and alumni can share their experiences, research and work on inclusion and diversity, especially for people with disabilities. You are invited to join us. Together, we will take the next steps towards a more inclusive university community.
