As part of a structured graduate training program, innovative research work in the field of Jewish material culture research will be carried out in close cooperation between the two locations in Leipzig and Jerusalem. Three faculties of the University of Leipzig are involved in the interdisciplinary program, whose representatives bring together expertise from the fields of European and Jewish history of the 19th to 21st centuries, German and Slavic studies, philosophy, cultural and art history. The activities of the college at both locations are intended to enable closely linked German-Israeli doctoral training for the first time in the humanities.
