The extraordinarily wide range of research topics and disciplinary approaches within the Leibniz Association forms the basis for tackling globally relevant questions and challenges. Dedicated collaboration and communication formats, as well as close cooperation within the Sections, Leibniz Research Alliances and Leibniz ScienceCampi, enable the Leibniz Association to react flexibly to new developments.
The Leibniz Association plays a central role on international academic committees, actively helping to shape international academic policy. By supporting subject-based and regional formats for collaborative ventures involving Leibniz Institutes, the Leibniz Association promotes the research-led expansion of its international partnerships.
Leibniz workshops involving international partners help Leibniz institutions explore new options for international collaboration. Leibniz Junior Research Groups give talented international post-doctoral researchers the chance to develop their own research groups at Leibniz Institutes. Distinguished international researchers can be appointed to a Leibniz Chair, following a request from a Leibniz Institute. The International Affairs Working Group responds to requests from Leibniz Institutes for advice and internal networking on topical themes.
