Welcome to Leiden!
We welcome you and your conference to our city.
Welcome to Leiden, European City of Science 2022. The Brave New World conference you are attending is part of this very special year, in which Leiden will be in the spotlight of science in Europe. Leiden is the first city to organise a 365-day festival around this prestigious title, aiming to share knowledge, science and discoveries among everyone with a curious mind. We hope you enjoy your time here in Leiden.
About the venue
Naturalis is a research institute and natural science museum in Leiden. The museum collects animals, plants and rocks and informs the public about biodiversity on Earth. The current collection contains over 37 million objects. In addition to a museum, Naturalis Biodiversity Center is also a research centre. After the renovation, in the new Naturalis, all parts of the institute are under one roof for the first time. With the development of Naturalis as the Dutch center for biodiversity, the merging of various collections and the growth in the number of researchers and the growth in the number of museum visitors, there was a lack of accommodation. The new Naturalis offers you the opportunity to organize a business meeting in a unique environment.
