Once a year, the doors of the laboratories and buildings at Leiden Bio Science Park open to the public. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., you\u2019re welcome to come see what life sciences research looks like in practice\u2014not on a screen, but up close, alongside the people who work on it every day. <\/p>\n

Come take a look inside!<\/h3>\n

The program includes guided tours of real labs, hands-on workshops, and lectures by researchers at the park. Whether you\u2019re a student thinking about your future, a family with curious children, or someone who\u2019s never seen the inside of a research building before, there\u2019s something cool for everyone to check out! <\/p>\n

Admission is free; it’s open to everyone.<\/b><\/p>\n

The open house is part of Dutch Bio Science Week<\/a>, a week filled with vibrant scientific energy. Think workshops, networking events, and activities for everyone! <\/i><\/p>\n

\"Leiden<\/p>\n

Become a Scientist for a Day<\/h3>\n

Meet the researchers, take a close look at the equipment, and discover what the life sciences are like from the inside. On July 4, the labs at Leiden Bio Science Park will open their doors to everyone: from the curious 10-year-old to the professional who has always wanted to know what goes on behind those doors. <\/p>\n

People of all ages are more than welcome<\/h3>\n

Meet the companies that turn lab results into real-world treatments\u2014from early-stage startups to established names in drug development and medical devices. On July 4, you\u2019ll have the chance to talk with the people working on the next generation of therapies. <\/p>\n

\"Leiden<\/p>\n

Warning: May cause a sudden interest in science<\/h3>\n

Side effects include asking too many questions, rethinking your career, and an inexplicable urge to look through a microscope. Explore the extensive program<\/a> and use the drop-down menu to customize your own itinerary. <\/p>\n
