From VR journeys through the bloodstream to dinosaur bone labs, cleanroom gowning, pipetting stations, DNA art, and psychology experiments, this year’s Dutch Bio Science Week’s Open Day made science tangible and accessible to all ages.

And it was only possible thanks to the incredible support and participation of our community and partners:

To the entire Leiden Bio Science Park community: thank you!

Your openness and energy are what turn this place from a cluster of buildings into a living, breathing knowledge ecosystem.

This is how we bring science closer to society, by opening the doors and showing what happens behind them!

Weโ€™re already looking forward to the next one!
