Contribution: Iris van der Weide (french and international law)

How intertwined the university is with society. I listened in awe to Professor Pieter Kooijmans' real-life examples. He was a professor of international law. And although that wasn't my main subject, he is the first person who comes to mind when I think of my time as a student in Leiden!
