Distinctions and Academic Awards

Credit where credit is due! This also applies at Leibniz Universität Hannover where the organisational structure has made provision for different forms of recognition. In the past, known and lesser-known personalities have been awarded for their dedication to the University or the greater good.

The distinction of Honorary Senator can be awarded to individuals who have earned it for their significant contributions to the common good, e.g. for outstanding professional achievements and/or for special services in public, official or community-based activities.

Individuals who have achieved significant merit at the University can be rewarded with the distinction of Honorary Citizen. Donations can also count as significant merits.

The Honorary Medal can be awarded to individuals who have earned it at the University or in parts thereof.

A Faculty Council (with the Senate’s agreement) can award an Honorary Doctorate for outstanding scientific achievements or special personal merits in terms of ideas or concepts.

Upon suggestions made by the Faculty Council, Honorary Professorships are bestowed by the Presidential Executive Committee in agreement with the Senate. These individuals must be recognised scientists and suited to collaboration on the fulfilment of tasks at Leibniz Universität Hannover. Additionally, they must have taught at the University for at least five years.
