About Axinia Braunisch
Axinia Braunisch is the Administrative Director of the Leibniz Information Centre for Economics (ZBW). Her current activities focus on administrative processes, the implementation of important digitalization projects in the administration and the strategic and sustainable further development of the organisation. The latter activity includes spatial development planning for the ZBW's new location in Hamburg, which is to be occupied at the beginning of 2026.
As well as being a member of the Directorate, Axinia Braunisch has overall responsibility for the ZBW's financial budget of around €29 million. She provides a wide range of experience and expertise from previous positions, e.g. in human resources in the non-university research landscape. Her CV is characterised by continuous advanced training, including a qualification course at the University of Applied Sciences for Administration and Services and a training course as a science manager at the German Research Foundation (DFG). She is currently expanding her knowledge through a part-time master's programme in business management at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland.
Together with colleagues from the Leibniz Institutes in Frankfurt am Main and Tübingen, she launched the WorkNew@Leibniz project in 2022 to bring aspects and methods of New Work into the Leibniz Association with its 96 institutes. This project has developed into a further initiative for the sustainable sharing of resources and infrastructure within the Leibniz Association and beyond.
