Prof. Dr. Leonie Sundmacher, Head of the Chair of Health Economics, is active as an expert in health management in numerous scientific and political advisory bodies at the interface of health economics, care delivery design, and health policy. In recent months, she has been appointed to two additional advisory boards.
Appointment to the State Higher Education Council of Brandenburg
Most recently, on 28 May 2025, Prof. Sundmacher was appointed to the State Higher Education Council (Landeshochschulrat, LHR) of Brandenburg. The appointment was made by the Minister of Science, Dr. Manja Schüle, in the context of the amendment of the Brandenburg Higher Education Act, which provides for the reconstitution of the council for the next four years.
The LHR is a nationwide unique cross-university advisory body with six members. It supports the Brandenburg state government on key issues of higher education development, such as the state higher education development plan, research strategy, and the structural advancement of the scientific system. Every two years, the LHR submits a report on its work to the state government, the relevant parliamentary committee, and the state universities.
Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the State Health Office Baden-Württemberg
In January, Prof. Sundmacher was also appointed by the Ministry of Social Affairs, Health and Integration of Baden-Württemberg as a member of the newly established advisory body of the State Health Office. This body will advise the State Health Office (Öffentlicher Gesundheitsdienst, ÖGD), as the central specialist authority, in the transformation process of the public health service. The aim is to further develop the ÖGD in Baden-Württemberg strategically and to develop empirically based recommendations on current public health issues. The constituent meeting of the advisory board took place on 6 June 2025.
