The Sections
The members of the Leibniz Association form five Sections which reflect its scientific profile and expertise.
The main tasks of the Sections are to drive the sharing of scientific experience and cooperation and to promote junior researchers. The Sections are involved in developing the evaluation criteria.
Business is conducted at Section conferences which are held regularly. Every Section chooses a Speaker who represents them on the Executive Board and other committees.
