”The vital significance of the German National Academy of Sciences extends far beyond our Federal State. The Leopoldina serves as an important bridge between science and the society at large. The inexorable scientification of both the world and our lives poses major new challenges for policymakers. They need smart, independent scientific advice that is unaffected by the capriciousness of legislative periods. I am immensely grateful to the Leopoldina for fulfilling this task.“
Dr. Reiner Haseloff
Minister President of the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt
Reiner Haseloff is the Minister President of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. The Leopoldina has been headquartered in the Saxony-Anhalt city of Halle (Saale) since 1878. The Leopoldina’s close relationship with its Federal State has traditionally been personally maintained by the respective Minister Presidents. Haseloff is consequently a regular guest at Leopoldina events including, for example, the Annual Assembly.
