Leibniz Association

The Dubnow Institute has been a member of the Leibniz Association since 2018 and actively participates in the association’s collective research and networking initiatives. The Leibniz Association connects around 100 independent research institutions, whose orientation ranges from the humanities over economics, spatial research, and social sciences through to natural sciences, engineering, and environmental studies.

 

Leibniz Research Network »Eastern Europe«

The network collects transdisciplinary expertise focusing on Eastern Europe from among the Leibniz Association. It is the point of contact for politics and the locus of collaborative initiatives in the field of knowledge dissemination, research infrastructures, and scholarly dialogue.

Leibniz Research Alliance »Value of the Past«

The interdisciplinary research alliance consists of 21 Leibniz Institutes and began operating in September 2021. It examines how historical evidence is shaped by language, mediality, and digitalization, how conceptions of history are contoured by space and notions of time, and how the past is used as a resource for community formation processes and identity conflicts as well as for the growing history market.

In the framework of this research group, the DI and the Leibniz-Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung (ZfL) together coordinate the Research Lab »Language, Performance and Lifeworlds.«

Leibniz ScienceCampus »Eastern Europe – Global Area«

The Leibniz ScienceCampus »Eastern Europe – Global Area« (EEGA), of which the DI has been a member since 2020, is committed to the development of new research perspectives on Eastern Europe, to scholarly exchange with actors from the region, and to the promotion of early career scholars. It is based on the idea that a multidisciplinary and multifaceted engagement with globalization processes is key to a better understanding of social developments. It therefore focuses on the manifold, often conflicted, sometimes also paradoxical globalization projects in Eastern Europe “from within” and “from without” and thus also on the self-positioning of Eastern European societies under global conditions.
