The Casimir Research School was founded in 2004 to provide an intellectually stimulating environment to
deepen and broaden the Ph.D. training in physics and closely related disciplines at Leiden University and
Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands). The School is named after H.B.G. Casimir (1909-2000),
professor in Theoretical Physics whose involvement in fundamental as well as applied physics left many
traces in the international scientific landscape. He headed the worldwide research efforts of the Philips
company and is remembered mostly for his discovery of the so-called Casimir effect and for his ideas on
science and research-management. Hendrik Casimir had ties with both Delft and Leiden Universities. In
2005, the school was officially recognized by the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
