Application Deadline ---------------------------- 30 April 2020 The Lorentz Center --------------------------- The Lorentz Center is a Dutch national center for international workshops in all scientific disciplines. Its guiding philosophy is that innovative research thrives on interaction between creative researchers. Lorentz Center workshops focus on new collaborations and on interactions in highly diverse groups of researchers – international and with different scientific viewpoints as well as seniority, gender, and culture. The Lorentz Center receives structural financial support by Leiden University, and by the Dutch research councils Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research NWO.
