Leiden Science Career Event
The 41st edition will take place on Wednesday 19 March 2025
Bio Science Park Excursion
29 November 2024
Connecting students and companies
The Bètabanenmarkt (Dutch for Science Career Event) has facilitated easy interaction between employers and science students in Leiden for over 40 years. We organize one major event every year and some smaller focused events like the Bio Science Park Excursion. Besides the events, we advocate for the career orientation of science students in Leiden.
We are inclusive to all science students in Leiden, from HBO to PhD and Biology to Astronomy. For this, we are affiliated with Leiden University (the Science faculty and the Medicine faculty) and Hogeschool Leiden (the University of applied sciences).
The Stiching Bètabanenmarkt is a foundation operated by students for students. Most of the current students are not planning their future careers. Many students get in touch with their prospective employers at a late stage. As Bètabanenmarkt, we improve this connection by connecting (top) students with inspiring and relevant employers.
We are affiliated to:

Leiden science students are standing out
Leiden science students are strong thinkers and researchers
Leiden University strongly focuses on academic research. These highly developed skills are transferable and essential to many jobs.
Leiden students have a culture of socializing
In Leiden, many different studies (from language sciences to mathematics and MBO to PhD) are gathered in a small city. Leiden has an extensive history in student life, like many active student, study and sports associations.
Business specialization is provided in most of the science master programs
Students do not only study their subject (like Chemistry or Computer Science) but also develop business skills. These students understand both the subject matter and the effects of it on the business side.
