Leibniz Research Alliance Fellowships Details

These month-long fellowships provide an opportunity to research in the alliance’s research field and its main topics at one of the participating Leibniz research institutes and Leibniz research museums.

The interdisciplinary Leibniz Research Alliance “Value of the Past” examines the values that societies attach to the past. It focusses on processes of value creation as well as competing values in disputes over the past.

These topics are discussed in seven research groups, that work on
