ArtScienceWeek
The ArtScienceWeek is an interdisciplinary week that combines art and science to help reshape the cultural environment of the 21st century towards a multidimensional form of individual and social creativity. The week seeks to inform, educate, mobilise, catalyse, and maximise the best ideas and opportunities for individual empowerment by connecting the public to leading scientific and artistic innovators. At the same time, it seeks to foster an open dialog between the public, researchers and artists on the future of art and science and how they impact our world.

Explore and celebrate the intertwining of science and art through a program of thought-provoking conversations, inspiring theatrical and cinematic experiences, interactive workshops and engaging demonstrations, including the Night of Discoveries and the Brave New World Conference, and watch as the city of Leiden around you is transformed into a world of discovery.

EST Digital online partner of Leiden2022
Est Digital designs and develops websites for Leiden2022. In the run-up to the public launch, clear, neutral and online communication was necessary to keep the stakeholders up to date. So, a temporary website was quickly created. 

At the same time, Est Digital works on a curiosity-enhancing and titillating platform that will inform the public and highlight all events during the City of Science year. On the public website that will launch on 10 November, many visitors will find interesting, exciting, surprising and fascinating news about the programme.
 
“Every day we stand on the verge of a new world. Science and technology are changing the very foundations of our lives and our work. Yesterday is history and today starts tomorrow.” says Est Digital project manager Noël Hoek. “For us as a creative-technical company it is an honor to be albe to contribute to such a relevant project as Leiden2022."

EL CID
Every year, new students come to Leiden. The EL CID week is the official introductory programme of Leiden University of Applied Sciences and Leiden University. In this week, first-year students are offered a multi-faceted programme in which they get to know the city, the students, and the student life.
 
During the ‘City of Discoveries’ event, the students were introduced to the scientific side of the city and the cultural highlights that Leiden has to offer. As the students are starting their academic career during the European City of Science year, we gave them a small introduction to show what that means for them. Not only will they see Leiden change into the true City of Science that she is, but they can also participate in numerous activities, as participants or as volunteers.
