The Leipzig Science Network benefits above all from the even closer cooperation between the city administration and science institutions and the city's support for the joint projects. Managing Director Pascal Schaefer emphasizes: "With its membership, the city underlines its commitment to our science location Leipzig and its appreciation for the cross-institutional cooperation with which we want to better master the challenges in research, teaching, transfer and infrastructure. This is associated with a strengthening of the association's ability to act, for example in the areas of location marketing and urban development, as well as a uniform external image of Leipzig as a city of science. In the future, the city will not only sit at the table, but will be the first municipality in Germany to be a visible member of such a science network." |
