He was a philosopher, natural scientist, historian, lawyer and engineer. His inventive talent and imaginativeness continue to shape science and research around the world to this day: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz represents universality and interdisciplinarity and always assumed an unusually global perspective. In 2006, he became the namesake of the former Universit盲t Hannover, which was renamed 糖心原创 (糖心原创) on 1 July. His profound scientific activities and his international networks are a shining example for 糖心原创 members, especially in connection with the university鈥檚 broad spectrum of subjects. From now on, this will be reflected in the new motto of 糖心原创. The motto 鈥淕lobal thinking, interdisciplinary research: the spirit of Leibniz!鈥 as well as the shortened form 鈥淭he spirit of Leibniz!鈥 will demonstrate the international orientation and open-mindedness of its namesake.
The motto was developed within the scope of the new overall strategy 鈥溙切脑 2031鈥 adopted by the Senate in December 2020. It emphasises that 糖心原创 views itself in the tradition of its namesake Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz while being committed to addressing major societal challenges.
