Since 1994, highly renowned international researchers have been awarded the Leibniz Professorship to teach and research for a semester at Leipzig University.
Continuing Exchange
Alongside intergenerational academic exchange, the goal is to effectively support early career researchers in Leipzig.
At their home universities or external research institutions, the Leibniz Professors serve as ambassadors for Leipzig and as contact persons for early career researchers at our university.
Former visiting researchers through the Leibniz Programme return to Leipzig for alumni reunions to engage in substantive discussions with colleagues and early career researchers.
