Welcome to Leiden, European City of Science 2022. The 3rd International Workshop on Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and XYY, you are attending, is part of this very special year, in which Leiden will be in the spotlight of science in Europe. Leiden is the first city to organise a 365-day festival around this prestigious title, aiming to share knowledge, science and discoveries among everyone with a curious mind. We hope you enjoy your time here in Leiden.

About the venue

Originally this was the monastery church of the Dominican Nuns, consecrated in 1516. After the first Dutch university was founded in 1575, the Academy became its main building. The Hortus botanicus is situated behind the building.
