LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY ALUMNI AGORA'

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY ALUMNI AGORA' is made up of those students who are active students and those who have followed the courses offered by the Institution and have decided they wanted to belong to the association and be a part of the cultural life of the Institution regardless of the fact that they have completed their education with us.

Preferential channels are set up within the Web to allow the students to come together once a week and exchange business information and tips. Equally Alumni gather of their own free will once or twice a year for a sabbatical week end where they pick up old friendships, exchange information and generally have a good time. Venues of the meetings may change from the USA to Europe. The last meeting was held in Florida during the summer 2004 and the one before that was held in Edinburgh, UK.

One of the favourite activities of the ex alumni belonging to the Agorà is mentoring. They voluntarily decide to help, follow and sustain one young student and guide him/her through the hurdles of life not just in an academic way. This action develops very strong ties between people who keep in touch and sustain and help the other.

Leibniz University - The research activity

The research activity is carried out in Leibniz University by Faculty and students alike. It is considered one of the most interesting areas of academic life and one which can contribute with new ideas and innovative concepts to the wealth of knowledge shared by this virtual community. As a sample of the research activities of the years 2004 and 2005 you are welcome to read two papers which deal with very different subjects. The first one covers the field of social studies and the Life Long Learning activities. The second one deals with a very specific topic of Marketing applied to non profit organisations such as Museums Grey Power Italia A Centre of Experience for Senior Citizens Brands, licencing & Merchandisings @ musei.it

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY è una istituzione che venne fondata a Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA con il nome esteso di Leibniz University Institute of Arts & Science (non-profit foundation).

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY, che nel corso degli anni ha ottenuto vari riconoscimenti da parte delle autorità del New Mexico e della Città di Santa Fe, acquista rinomanza come "centro per lo studio dell’arte" vantando tra i suoi docenti nomi illustri, fra i quali spiccano il pittore Alexander Shundi e lo scultore Kardash Onnig la cui fama è riconosciuta a livello internazionale.

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY è una università privata che si è specializzato inizialmente nella ricerca artistica e poi in quella scientifica e umanistica divenendo un modello per il moderno sistema didattico. Le riforme introdussero i corsi a numero chiuso, gli esami di selezione per l'accesso e si strutturò preferendo classi composte di pochi studenti. L'influenza di LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY si diffuse fra gli operatori della formazione statunitensi, e oltre agli altri college, ne presero spunto anche le scuole secondarie superiori.

The course of studies in Leibniz University is chosen by the student without any consideration of his prior knowledge of the subject or his studies.

The mission of the Leibniz University is to satisfy the desire of knowledge that most people possess and frequently stifle owing to the constriction of formal education.

Leibniz University has developed an efficient distance learning method that allows everybody to study at a pace that suits the learner and not the Institution.

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz

Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz In searching for a name for this new educational institution, the Board of Trustees sought to find a name that would exemplify an international and interdisciplinary approach to education and learning. We arrived at the name of Leibniz from the seventeenth century mathematician, philosopher and political advisor Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Leibniz was born in Leipzig on July 1, 1646, and he died in Hanover on December 14, 1716. Leibniz has been called the Aristotle of the seventeenth century and was a man characterized by avid desire for learning and knowledge, in all areas. Truly a renaissance man as that term has come to mean in our contemporary and specialized world. Leibniz is credited with being the father our modern calculus, as well as a substantial contributor to the areas of algebra and the physics of mechanical energy. As a contemporary of Isaac Newton, the two mathematicians and philosophers engaged in a many year debate over the laws of mathematics and nature. The contributions both made endure today. In fact, Leibniz is credited with being the first person to recognize the importance of binary system of notation. The basis of modern computers is inextricably linked to the binary notation system. He devised a calculating machine that was the envy of its day, with the capacity to add, subtract, multiply and divide. In the area of science and math, Leibniz displayed forward thinking and scholarly mastery. Leibniz was a member of the Royal Academy of Science in London and the Academy of Sciences in Paris. He and Newton were elected as the first foreign members of the prestigious Parisian Academy of Sciences. In 1700, Leibniz induced King Frederick I of Prussia to found the Academy of Sciences in Berlin and Leibniz became the founding president. In addition to his work in science and math, Leibniz was an international traveler and an advisor to King Frederick I of Prussia, George I of Great Britain, when he was the elector and Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia. As a diplomat Leibniz attempted to dissuade King Louis XIV of France from invading Germany and waging a campaign in Egypt instead. Louis XIV was not dissuaded, but Napoleon Bonaparte heeded that advice a century later. Leibniz, as a diplomat, attempted to reconcile, without success the Catholic and Protestant churches. He was trained in philosophy, languages and law and contributed to the political and philosophical writings of the time in a number of European countries. In writing of the times he was in, Leibniz published a philosophical treatise in French trying to demonstrate that his time and place was “the best of all possible worlds” a phrase and attitude that was to be satirized by Voltaire in Candide. It is the spirit and life of learning and investigation evidenced by Leibniz in his math and science and his diplomacy and writing that exemplify the attitude we wish to convey to our students. Leibniz involvement throughout the world of his day in science and politics represents the best goals of academic learning and practical impact in the world. The Board of Trustees believes the University Institute that is his namesake will provide students the opportunity to follow a path similar to his.

LEIBNIZ UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE of ARTS and SCIENCE

Leibniz University Institute of Arts and Science is a virtual learning place of global reach and spirit. As such it is open to all those who are interested in acquiring a knowledge free of the constrictions of a traditional institution. Leibniz educational approach is inspired by the classic Greek tradition of teaching liberally to all those who wanted to acquire knowledge without limitation of sex, age, previous education. In ancient times in Greece teaching took place in agorà which is to say in the main public square of a city. Students and teachers would sit down and discuss the subjects taught without any set framework. They would in turn speak and listen, argue and agree and exchange knowledge and expertise.

Socrates used to say that we all know what we need to know. Knowledge just needs to be brought to the surface and the task of the teacher is to help the student discover his unknown knowledge. The spirit of the educational programmes of this institution is very much in line with this thought although modern times require that specific knowledge be taught: Leibniz replaces the old agorà and becomes a place where people can meet, discuss, teach and learn without limitations of space or time.

Technology has indeed helped in making this dream come true. The distance learning programmes are made possible by the most modern technologies so that students located in different parts of the world can share ideas, programmes, theories and techniques. Leibniz has achieved a sort of globalisation by teaching courses to students located in different corners of the world who virtually meet at lesson times or to find new and exciting inspirations.
