The academic structure of the Leopoldina consists of classes and sections. Depending on their particular area of research, all Academy members belong to one of the 28 specialised sections, which are grouped into four classes. Introduced in 2009, this grouping of sections into classes fosters discussion between the disciplines and encourages active participation in Academy life.
