The program includes keynote lectures, technical presentations, a public panel discussion, and opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange. As a whole, LEISYS connects academia, industry, and public-sector organizations, covering both foundational research and practical applications of intelligent systems.

Lancaster University Leipzig hosted the OAuth Security Workshop 2026 here in Leipzig.

The workshop focuses on identity standards like OAuth and OpenID Connect, which are the core security components of today’s Internet. What makes this series particularly valuable is its unique mix of perspectives, spanning current deployments, emerging research, and the future direction of these technologies.

Wissenschaftskino Leipzig is a joint event series organised by Leipzig’s scientific institutions, the Zeitgeschichtliches Forum and the Knowledge Policy Unit for the City of Leipzig.

In cooperation with Lancaster University Leipzig, this edition featured a screening of The Big Short, which examines the 2008 financial crisis and the collapse of the US housing market. Following the screening, Dr Vidhya Unnikrishnan and Dr Stefan Kupfer joined a discussion titled “Boom and Bust – are financial crises part of the system?”, exploring the mechanisms behind financial bubbles and market crashes and offering insights into the functioning of modern financial systems.
