Leiden International Centre

Are you an employer that wants to hire international talent, but don't know where to start? Leiden International Centre is here to help you.

Leiden International Centre is a non-profit organisation which works closely with Leiden Bio Science Park. We support international newcomers and their employers in the Leiden region.

We provide services for all stages of expat life: coming to, settling in, living in and leaving. These services include BSN registration appointments, free informative events, our very popular monthly Meet & Mingle events, and information via our website, newsletters and social media. Internationals can get in touch with our helpdesk to receive free advice and assistance.
