Life Sciences & Health Week
24th until the 30th of June 2024
Join the Life Sciences & Health Week 2023, which takes place in Leiden from June 22nd until June 29th
More than 400 years have passed since the first medicinal plants were brought to the Hortus Botanicus, and now, Leiden boasts its own Bio Science Park. We have seen new medical discoveries happening for the past four centuries. Great minds like Boerhaave and Albinus have flourished in Leiden, as are the 30,000 people who are currently working on the discoveries of tomorrow.
To celebrate the past and future medical innovations, the Life Sciences & Health week will return to Leiden in 2024
Be part of the LSH Week
The LSH Week will be back next year! From 24 to 30 June 2024, Leiden will be the centre of Life Sciences. If you have ideas on how your organization can participate or if you already have activities planned in this week, please let us know. We will then contact you to discuss how we can further draw attention to these activities together, for instance on leidenbiosciencepark.nl, sciencecityleiden.nl, and visitleiden.nl.

Highlights from LSH Week 2023
Unimaginable
In the exhibition “Unimaginable” “Onvoorstelbaar", Rijksmuseum Boerhaave transported visitors back in time to experience Antoni van Leeuwenhoek's ground-breaking discoveries. They witnessed first-hand the wonders he saw through his homemade microscope in the seventeenth century. The exhibition showcased Van Leeuwenhoek's tools, including microscopes, drawings, and letters, offering a glimpse into the micro-world he uncovered. Visitors explored the advancements in microscopy and learned about Van Leeuwenhoek's pioneering techniques. Despite being a cloth merchant, Van Leeuwenhoek's innovative approach led him to unveil the microscopic realm, forever changing our understanding of the world.
