Dies natalis Leiden University

On February 7th we celebrate the 450th anniversary of the university. We cordially invite you to celebrate this together. Will you join us?
The theme of our anniversary year and also of this dies natalis is Time Ahead. After all, we have been looking to the future since 1575. The program includes: the dies oration on academic freedom, the presentation of three honorary doctorates and a spectacular performance by science rapper Jon Chase and singer Celesta da Vinci. University historian Pieter Slaman will test your knowledge of the university during the 450 quiz. After the official program, a reception will follow at approximately 5:00 PM where we will toast this special anniversary together!
Unfortunately, there are no more places available. You can follow the ceremony via a livestream.
