Promoting research and teaching
Leuphana University Lüneburg sees itself as a topic-oriented university. It is dedicated to current research questions that are of concern to 21st-century civil society. In order to facilitate the interdisciplinary research necessary for this, Leuphana's research activities are based in university-wide, inter- and transdisciplinary research initiatives. Each initiative is led by one of the five faculties: Education, Cultural Studies, Management & Technology, Sustainability and, most recently, Governance and Democracy. Our researchers work on a variety of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary cross-cutting issues.
Endowed professorships enrich the university in a very special way. By setting up an endowed professorship, you can sponsor fields of development that are relevant to you for at least five years from 100,000 euros p.a. and thus make an exclusive contribution to the further development of a field of research. Funding is generally possible in all of our research areas. The funding of such a professorship is usually a donation for the promotion of science and, like the exact duration, is contractually regulated between us. Over 160 professors from our four faculties conduct interdisciplinary research into socially relevant issues in our science initiatives. Expand the circle of our experts.
Every year, Leuphana hosts international academics who are sought and found by the faculties and university management around the world and invited to Lüneburg. This strengthens Lüneburg as a centre of knowledge and enhances our reputation in the academic community. With your donation you can support the stay of the fellows, the guest researchers.
Every international project also involves a joint exchange: with your donation, you can support participants from developing countries attending major scientific conferences at Leuphana, for example, by covering travel costs or providing accommodation for students and lecturers.
Have you heard about a project that you find interesting and would like to support? Get in touch with us and we will put you in touch with the project manager. You will find interesting projects in the areas of research, teaching and knowledge transfer. We also welcome your own ideas for projects or topics that you would like to support.
