The Institute for History welcomes self-funded researchers from outside Leiden University who wish to stay here for some time conducting research.

In case researchers want to have work space in the Institute for History it is recommended that they get in touch with the management of the Institute as soon as possible. At first the eligibility of candidates will be considered in light of their past performance and the extent to which their planned project relates to the research specialisations of the Institute. Admission furthermore depends on the length of their intended stay and the availability of space. 

From January 1, 2011, self funded researchers housed in the Institute for History for longer than one month are subject to pay a fee covering the costs connected to work space, computer account, library entrance, seminar participation and additional facilities. This fee totals up to € 1000,- per semester. With individual guest researchers an agreement will be worked out stating the mutual obligations researcher and Institute commit themselves to.
