Advisory Board

The Advisory Board has been in place since 2022 and supports the Faculty in the further development of its strategy and profile. Through their external perspective, the members of the Advisory Board contribute socially relevant topics to the development process. This invites joint discussion and reflection. In the composition of the Advisory Board, we ensure that there are close links to the disciplines and research specialisations of the faculty. We also take the perspective of alumni into account by selecting members who completed their studies at Leuphana. The key topics of entrepreneurship and start-up support in particular benefit from the wide-ranging expertise of the Faculty Advisory Board members.
