We are pleased to announce that our faculty member, Dr. Tina Treude, has recently been confirmed as a corresponding member of the prestigious Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. Founded in 1751, the Göttingen Academy is the oldest continuously existing scientific academy in Germany and one of the most influential in the world. It is part of the Union of German Academies of Sciences and Humanities, a collective that unites the country’s eight major academies.

The academy’s core mission is to advance research in a wide range of disciplines, both under its own auspices and through collaboration with scholars within Germany and internationally. Its contributions to science, particularly in the fields of mathematics, physics, and the humanities, are unparalleled, having shaped the landscape of intellectual discovery over the centuries.

Among the illustrious members who have been part of the academy are some of the greatest minds in history. These include figures like Carl Friedrich Gauß, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm, the Humboldt Brothers, Werner Heisenberg, Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, and Albert Einstein.

 Dr. Treude's appointment to this esteemed institution is a testament to her outstanding academic achievements and contributions to the advancement of knowledge, and we are proud to see her join such a distinguished group of scholars.

"I’m deeply honored to be invited to join such a prestigious academy of sciences, especially one with such a rich history and tradition,” said Tina. “It’s particularly meaningful to me that the academy has its roots in my home state of Lower Saxony, Germany. I’m truly looking forward to becoming actively involved in its work."
