Absence

Summer time in the lab 2025 – Updated June 18

Absence, Building closed, Building maintenance and construction work


palmstrandWe are eagerly anticipating summer! If you are planning to work in the lab during the summer, please take note of the following:

  • From Monday July 21-Friday August 22, opening hours will be restricted to 8.00-17.30h.
  • The closure of  almost all UU buildings will NOT apply to Janskerkhof 13 – the building will be open all summer for the ILS labs as well as for Philosophy&Religion). HOWEVER, plot twist, there will be noisy maintenance works from July 21 until August 18. So, you will be able to prepare and maybe pilot experiments during that time, but probably not measure participants.
  • It will not be possible to measure participants August 11-15 because the UIT-dagen are unbearably noisy and make it difficult to get to Janskerkhof 13. (Strictly speaking the UIT-dagen are August 11-14, but our experience is that August 15 is usually still a bit noisy as well). Lab support will probably be working on updating equipment on these days.
  • The rest of the summer, there will be lab support in room 0.09, but we may miss a day here or there due to support staff vacations. If you absolutely need support on a certain day, check in advance via ilslabs@nulluu.nl.
  • The lab managers will be away for longer stretches of time in summer, so if you need Marijn, Desiree or Iris, definitely check in advance when they’ll be there.
  • Running an experiment involving the adult participant database is not recommended in summer since a lot of students are simply not in Utrecht then, so recruitment is rather difficult. If you want to try anyway, please contact Iris Mulders by July 8.
